An "Autopsy" on SOA
Denny Boynton wrote a great article a while back on SOA and its demise.

On Monday, January 5, 2009, Anne Thomas Manes, a well respected analyst at the Burton Group, wrote a post on her blog pronouncing SOA to be DOA. My colleague, Hanu Kommalapati, brought the post to my attention and I was getting ready to dig in my heals and put up a fight. Once I read Anne’s post, I found that not only was a fight unnecessary, but that I agreed with most of her points.
Seeing that SOA has been one of the most visible and widely talked about technology initiatives of the past decade, the fact that it has been pronounced “dead” would seem to require an autopsy to determine the cause of death and discover any foul play that might have been involved in its untimely demise.
