Stanimir and Denni, though I used to say that service and process are interchangeable, I have to admit - I did a compromise, and have to support Steve in this...
I know that you are all wonderful, highly intelligent, charming people. I do find all this mutual praise hard to cope with being what the Sasunnachan call a...
We (Burton Group) had a last minute change of plans, and it turns out that I will act as substitute for my colleague Chris Howard at the SOA Symposium next...
Michael, I agree with you. Could one process (business activity) of enterprise A be of an interest to enterprise B? I think it could happen and it happens.. So...
We are all for MIR, Stanimir. As Steve outlined, a process is only an IMPLEMENTATION, an internal thing for the company; it exists totally under company...
... A business architecture that uses a service oriented style would look like that. I maintain that a service oriented business architecture is not a...
There aren't any direct constraints around having a process oriented business architecture and then implementing in a service oriented way. if you are using...
I again with Stive on that a "process oriented business view isn't a good idea anyway". Let me turn the discussion from the "may use PDA or SOA", together or...

Here is a couple steps of my logic about SOA-POA 1. SOA answers questions in the following order: WHAT, WHY, WHO, and HOW That is SOA includes Target/Purpose,...
SOA Social is a new social network which has just been launched by InfoQ. It is sponsored by IBM but is not vendor-specific. I have been kindly recruited to...
Hi Steve ... That, I agree, is the right way to look at it. (Although I have, as posted earlier, a rather esoteric semantic quibble about the use of the term...
Even though a business process describes HOW it doesn't mean that you start by answering that question. When I model a business process I always start with WHO...
I wonder what you mean by "POA lacks the higher business organisational layers"? When you model business processes at the highest level you usually creates a...
