<description>Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) are the buzzwords of choice these days, but where do they fit in with IT development (and budgets)? What is their relationship to Web Services and the rapidly evolving WS-* architecture? And how does open source play in this space? In this presentation, we'll look at SOA and ESB concepts and relate them to what is happening with the JBoss SOA Platform that has rapidly become an important SOA infrastructure in the open source market. We'll also look at how the open source community has helped drive the architecture and adoption of the SOA, where this roadmap is leading us to, and how you can get involved.
