Last week I concluded my 2006 travels with stops at CMG2006 and a SOA Alliance meeting.   My CMG2006 session was "Observations from the Field: Tackling the Hard Parts of SOA":

"Enterprise architects and technical leaders consistently state the hardest part of SOA is not the technology. Rather, the real work is in service definition, semantics, establishing an SOA program (evangelism, planning, governance, infrastructure and tools) and wading through the industry hype. This presentation delves into the hard parts of SOA, and shares real-world practitioner tips for success."

The presentation was based on a paper I wrote during the summer, with some additional observations/tips and illustrations.  I also added a new section on capacity planning/usage prediction, to elicit tips from the audience.  More on that later.  For now, I'm posting my SOA Hype slide, because there was audience interest in reusing it.

Several notes:

• The slide was produced in late October, the same Google search today yields "34,700,000 for service-oriented architecture."
• The SOA Re-use break even of 1.3 is from Jeffrey Poulin's work.
• For realistic numbers on SOA adoption, see ebizQ's SOA Governance Survey Results. 
• The great Web Services Standards poster is here.

The slide...
