Greetings!
In lieu of the May 23 Collaborative
Expedition workshop, an open forum on Service-Oriented Architecture will
be held at MITRE on May 23-24.  This forum serves to open strategic
dialogue around the potentials and realities of Service-Oriented Architecture
(SOA).  SOA is characterized by communities working together to forge
agreements, in light of mutually understood commonalities and differences,
in order to advance business value, agility, and technology diversity.
