SOA Definition
Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is an evolution of distributed computing based on the request/reply design paradigm for synchronous and asynchronous applications.
On SOA and WOA
I predict that SOA will morph into WOA in a few years. Some remnants of the old SOA will remain and a few unlucky chumps will be tasked to maintain it somehow. A situation not unlike that of the lost souls that keep COBOL code running to this day.
WOA Again
WOA = SOA + WWW + REST
WOA
WOA [Web-Oriented Architecture] is the route to SOA, and, along the way, we might just forget about SOA as WOA grows and gets SOA-like features. SOA is too hard to understand, and does not lend itself to people just doing it. In the end, we will forget SOA and just use WOA.
