Paul Lipton, a Senior Architect in the CA Intellectual Property and Standards Group, likes to remind audiences wherever he speaks that popular assumptions can often be dangerous: the many unique and highly-regarded architectural characteristics of SOA, for example (such as loose-coupling) can actually be a two-edged sword.

Such characteristics affect the requirements, nature, and success of many important aspects of SOA, especially runtime governance.

"The success of any SOA requires that one must gain an understanding of the true nature, performance characteristics, and availability of the business transactions that flows in real-time through these highly distributed services and their supporting IT infrastructure," says Lipton, who will at SOAWorld Conference & Expo 2007 West in San Francisco (11-12 November, 2007) be giving a stimulating session entitled "Understanding How SOA Done Wrong Can Compromise Your Enterprise."

"The session will emphasize practical considerations that impact SOA architects, security managers, application support personnel, and designers," Lipton explains. His aim: to prepare his audience for delivering a verifiably reliable and successful SOA, and helping them effectively remediate SOA failures and risks in real-time.
