Gartner published the first analysis of Service-oriented Architecture (SOA) in 1996, but real world usage became widespread only recently. SOA looks a lot different than it did eleven years ago. This session will discuss the four things you need to know about SOA now:

Key points that will be discussed:
  1. Progress on Web services interoperability standards has bogged down. Will gaps in standards impede the ability of companies trying to implement heterogeneous, multivendor SOA applications?

  2. The fully asynchronous, Event-driven Architecture (EDA) style of SOA has become more important because of the need for straight-through processing and data synchronization. How should architects and managers integrate EDA into their SOA strategies?

  3. The killer app for SOA is turning out to be. . . Business Activity Monitoring (BAM), that is, giving end users near-real-time visibility into their business operations and the environment. How does SOA facilitate situational awareness and sense-and-respond styles of operation?

  4. Developers and architects increasingly use business process management (BPM) and related flow management disciplines in their SOA applications. What are the four levels of flow managament and where does each apply?
