July 13 th Meeting 

    

    
Service Oriented Architecture 

    
Harmonization 

    

    
Service Oriented Architecture 
    (SOA) is a promising service delivery vehicle that the Enterprise 
    Architecture (EA) community is seeking to strengthen and broaden as a tool 
    for business transformation.    
    However, there are a number of challenges that must be explored 
    within the EA community to achieve common understanding among SOA 
    practitioners regarding how to collaborate.     

    

    
Challenges include: 

    
ü       
    Lack of a clear, universally accepted definition as to 
    what constitutes a Service Oriented Architecture, 

    
ü       
    Lack of best practice examples of leveraged use of SOA, 
    

    
ü       
    Questions about how SOA initiatives should be 
    incorporated into an Enterprise Architecture Framework, 

    
ü       
    What are the major problems that practitioners face in 
    implementing SOA initiatives, 

    
ü       
    How to propagate and leverage existing SOA services, 
    and 

    
ü       
    How an SOA service is managed and governed. 

    

    
The July 13 th 
    Architecture Plus meeting is intended to begin answering some of these 
    questions by bringing together subject matter experts from the architecture 
    standards bodies to provide their perspective on the issues. The meeting 
    will be in the form of a moderated panel discussion bringing together 
    representatives from Open Group, OASIS, OMG, the Integration Consortium/SOA Alliance, 
    and W3C.   The panelists will 
    address issues related to the topics mentioned above and then take questions 
    from the audience.
