The concept of SOA
- a grid of services that ... may be used flexibly... SOA is an *architectural paradigm*.
- not a particular implementation or product
- independent of platform

Key Aspects

* Loose coupling
* Open standards
* Distribution/communication
- directories and communication standards will support a very distributed grid of services
