Soa Is Still There

It's a long time that SOA has been around. My first atricles are dated jan 2003 but I had already done some work on it in 2002.

Two years ago still, I was trying to convince my colleagues to put SOA on the agenda of one of our Marketing events... They told me nobody was interested in SOA... Look now, all seminars go around SOA.

So for me it's very boring and "old News" to hear about "SOA","SOAP" and "Attention : SOA is not Web Service" (Even if what they actually sell is UDDIv3 and... SOAP).

What's even more boring is that SOA is about Component Based Design and Reuse... It was already the same discussion at the time of CORBA...

The only refreshing item in SOA is its impact on "Governance". That's new and it's a nice topic. So all providers - HP, BEA, Software AG - now have "SOA Assessments" and "SOA Governance" and "SOA Life Cycles".

So today, SOA doesn't interest me anymore...

The question I have is : what's after SOA ?
