Open Source Projects Empower SOA Infrastructure Definition and Development

Unlike earlier open source initiatives, which often trailed commercial development of crucial software infrastructure, today's many community-based services oriented architecture (SOA) projects are early-on defining the means through which SOA can be realized. Development of commercial and open source versions of essential SOA components are happening concurrently. To explore why this is true and how open source will shape the future of SOA infrastructure, join Dan Kulp, principal engineer and community lead at IONA Technologies, and Debbie Moynihan, IONA's director of open source programs, for a sponsored BriefingsDirect podcast discussion, hosted by Interarbor Solutions Principal Analyst Dana Gardner. IONA Technologies is taking an active role in several open source SOA initiatives, including the CXF enterprise service bus framework.
