The complexities and costs assoicated with traditional, 'top down' architectural implementations do not appeal to today's business desring agility through SOA. Most IT organizations have been 'burned' too many times with 'boil the ocean' IT projects which lose sight of their business objects quickly and become 'a quest' in and of themselves. Incremental SOA does not mean no sound architecture. it means breaking implementation down into smaller, incremental implementations that 'plug and play' into a larger implementation. Such a methodology is infinately scalable, and far less complex to manage. Incremental SOA is the only practical, cost-effective way to implement SOA.

If I make a mess of it does that make me incredible? I enjoyed Jim Webber's interview and it intrigues me how we can get even looser coupling with MEST. Antony Josh

I like the bit about credible people speaking at the Ark Conference. If I make a mess of it does that make me incredible?

I enjoyed Jim Webber’s interview and it intrigues me how we can get even looser coupling with MEST.
