    Do we have a definition of SOA which we all agree on?

    by Udayan Banerjee

    Is SOA about ...

    ... design of the services – which mirror real-world business activities, or
    ... achieving loose coupling among interacting software agents

    I would say both things and more. There are actually 7 principles of SOA. Your question seems to be a false dichotomy.

    The most concise definition of SOA I can think of is that it is conceptual framework for managing the complexity of distributed computing.

    by Douglas Oviche

    I am totally agree with all the previous messages related to the definition about what SOA is.
    In my view SOA is a way of distributing my existing services and the software already made.
    It is leveraging my existing applications and system to a higher architural level as well as promoting them to higher sharing level.
