Service oriented architecture source document [closed]?

If you find the source documents for what SOA is, I'd love to see the link as SOA is probably one of the most overused terms/catch-phrases in the past 15 years. The problem is the you're probably not going to find a definitive article on SOA because everyone has their interpretation of it. You could say Don Box put a box around it with his four tenets.

But that's just one interpretation, and many have disagreements about what tenets really meant and if they defined what SOA is. Regarding your second question, if you find the SOB that defined SOA, I'd like to shake his hand. He gave a many good consultants lots of billable hours.

:) Sorry I don't have a better answer for the second part.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
