I’ll be moderating a panel next week, at OSBC, on open source’s role in SOAs. As the description says:
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is the rage of the industry today. With the strong focus on open standards that promote interoperability, open source is extremely well poised to be the real secret sauce behind the SOA revolution. In this panel we will examine the impact of open source on SOA and how key open source infrastructure vendors are positioning their offerings to become the market leaders of the SOA platform. We’ll also hear from early adopter enterprises to hear how they view the open source & SOA opportunity.
Most of the questions I have at the moment revolve around simply defining what an SOA is and (more interestingly to me) is not. As I see it, what’s interesting about open source and SOAs is that open source based SOAs tend to be much more pragmatic and modest; this versus the “SOA will save the day” hoopla you might expect from mega-SOA pitches.
The panelests come from a mixed technology and customer base, so I’m looking forward to simply finding out what SOAs in the real world look like to them.
That said, I wanted to get input and questions from you, dear readers. What would you ask the panel? What general topics are you interested in?
