Colin Renouf from Lloyds TSB bank in London and one of the more active and vocal AIX Technical Collaboration Center members, just wrote me an email with a proposal for a joint work effort on patterns for SOA. It’s a great idea.
While we are fleshing that out, I thought I’d highlight the fact that Steve and Tommy, with Johns project management, have been solidly delivering on the System p configurations for SOA Entry points.
There are currently five papers and an overview in the series. You can find the launch page here. The papers are
Process:
IBM System p Planning & Configuration Guide for SOA Entry Point — Process
IBM System p Reference Architecture for SOA Entry Point — Process
People:
IBM System p Planning and Configuration Guide for SOA Entry Point — People
IBM System p Reference Architecture for SOA Entry Point — People
Reuse:
