Seems that I'm on the panel. Waiting to find out what that means. Initially, I was asked to "represent OASIS" and I squashed that quickly. I think I now get to talk as representing my experience with, among others, OASIS and W3C.

Architecture Plus
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.
