The Reincarnation of SOA
Summary
Anne Thomas Manes, who pronounced SOA dead a year ago, talks about the reincarnation of SOA. She believes the old SOA had to die because it was too much focused on technology and products, while the new one, absolutely necessary for the new cloud computing era, will be focused on architecture, principles and practices.

She is a member of the editorial board of Web Services Journal, a leading industry publication, is a frequent speaker at trade shows, author of numerous articles and a book on web services.

Its a shame that the economy is so bad, that unknowledgeable persons like the one above have to talk a few buzzwords and make their living.
Thumbs down. Worst slides and presentation.

SOA has lost all hope of reincarnation (a good thing). Whoever attended that conference session got ripped off. My full thoughts, here: www.benjaminbooth.com/tableorbooth/2010/02/soa-...

The maxim of "SOA does not add value if you blindly go out and buy SOA technology stacks" was already beaten to death "ages ago" by Martin Fowler, James Webber and the like. This presentation could have been extended to some extent with some of the general best practices of successful SOA architectures, conversation patterns, schema designs and the like.
Also it could have been extended with how some SOA stacks have added business value to clients (in what problem domains and what environments). These could have been really interesting.
Without that, all that I seem to be hearing is motherhood and apple pie. :(.
