Whither SOA

Joab Jackson, Tech Blog for Government Computer News

The emerging technology special interest group of the Industry Advisory Council has posted a survey about Service Oriented Architecture. If you get a chance, go and fill it out. It should take only 10 minutes or so, promises Greg Hauser, who is the chair for the IAC SOA committee.

Not long ago I was at a meeting of IASA where the speaker asked how many had used SOA in their programming, only a few raised their hands. Cleary we are in the early adopter stage.
