You are all cordially invited to attend an IEEE Technical Meeting "Service Oriented Architecture (SoA)" on Thursday, November 17, 2005. The meeting will be held at the 1910, Oracle Way, Reston, VA. Our Guest speaker is Shahid Shah, CEO and Chief Software Architect, Netspective Corporation. Program 6.00-7 PM: Networking and Food (Pizza and Softdrinks) Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is a modern technique to build loosely coupled, distributed systems and is the subject of much discussion today. Though not new in the broader sense of how one sees system architecture but what is different is clear focus on services as distinct from objects. SOA is not something you can buy, but it is a way of thinking and architecting complex systems and this talk will introduce the audience to the programming models as well as the business thinking that goes into creating service oriented enterprises. After looking at what SOA and SO (service orientation) are, we will look at the real value of SOA, how to go beyond the present way of thinking, and to ensure that you don't either ignore SOA because you don't understand it nor do you simply buy into everything about vendor's solutions.
