"We didn't start the fire ... it was always burning since the world's been turning ..." [Billy Joel 1989]. Is SOA the "Same Old Architecture?" or is it "Simply Over Ambitious?" Let's apply SOA's arsenal:: XML, BPM, Services, SOAP, Web Services - to the real world and find out. Let's put out some fires.

Research Dimensions of SOA - Part4

While SOA has been advocated as the automation mantra for application to application interaction (including integration, collaboration), Web 2.0 is being promoted as the new trend in rich client computing with rich computation power on the front end platforms.

Is there a relation between Web 2.0 and SOA? We explore in this track of research

Read on.

We believe that SOA and web 2.0 can complement each other in form of SOA being provided a new

front end in form of Web 2.0.

This view is interesting since till date SOA focus was on back-end (more for automation of back-office and like applications) including integration, with technologies like portals dominating the front-end space. With web 2.0 there is possibility of bringing rich automation and dynamic workflows via on the fly service orchestation (as in SOA) right on client side apps like mashups..to that end there is tremondous scope for innovation. sample thoughts on:

1. How do AJAX and SOA complement each other . Read at http://soa.sys-con.com/read/233690.htm 

2. Can the interaction model be delineated from XMLHttprequest Read at http://ajax.sys-con.com/read/210466.htm 

3. Other research areas we are exploring are :

3.1 Portal Servers and WSRP and impact of Web 2.0

3.2 Using Social networking concepts for policy management in dynamic adaptive service oriented networks

3.3 ROI models for Rich Internet Applications leveraging SOA
