History of SOA?
Welcome to the Softstar Research Corporate Web Blog| The creation of abstract layers to better align technology with the business it’s supporting (and also the business people), has been going on at least 40 years now. And with each new abstraction layer, the delivery capability technologists have at their disposal has increased exponentially. Somewhat similar to Moore’s law for processor performance, each new succession or paradigm of abstraction yields a much better alignment with what the technology is trying to support. |

Human-Factor Phenomena in Problem Solving
Best consice explination I’ve read thus far. My compliments to the author Robert Harris.
The Hawthorne Effect.
The attention paid to people when a problem solver offers them a solution or benefit can have a greater positive effect than the solution itself. The psychological happiness produced by the fact that the solver “cares about” the person with a problem can produce increased motivation, production, health, and so on. Therefore, the solution itself may not be the cause (or the entire cause) of the positive results. (Compare the Placebo Effect.)
The Best: Science Fictions
Fiction:
Earth’s rotation causes bathtubs, sinks, and toilets to drain clockwise in the northern hemisphere, counterclockwise in the southern hemisphere.
Fact:
They can go either way in either hemisphere. The shape of the basin and the direction of the incoming flow overwhelm the minuscule effect of planetary spin.
The Case for Enterprise Architecture
Thanks to CIO Magazine, The case for Enterprise Architects; Kim S. Nash, CIO, December 23, 2008
When technology infrastructure lines up with business projects like musicians in a marching band, you know you have a good enterprise architect on staff. But will you keep him when it’s time to start handing out pink slips?
The essence of the job “is about improving communication between the people with the problems and those who would solve them,” says Leon Kappelman, cochair of the Society for Information Management’s enterprise architect working group. “That’s vital.”
