 SOAs gaining momentum, part 1
SOAs are kind of an IT manager's Holy Grail, in which software components can be exposed as services on the network and be reused often for different applications and purposes.
And the fact that several of them are building up their SOA practices, instead of a single company focusing on it, is further evidence that SOAs will become increasingly important in 2005.
SOAs have the potential to be a money pit, if only because there is no clear path for building them and the underlying concepts can be so fuzzy and vague that it can be easy to spend money to no effect.

SOAs are based on the same technology as Fabry-Perot diode lasers but use different coatings on the facets to achieve amplification rather than lasing (see oemagazine, September 2001, page 36).
"SOAs as amplifiers are not the only technology [customers] can use, and we have to be competitive with some technologies that have better performances," he says.
Another promising SOA application is that of wavelength conversion, which is useful in optical routing.

 Work In Progress -- SOAs -- InformationWeek
Software honchos haven't given up on SOAs, and many continue to be believe that their efforts will be worth the frustrations.
The transition to service-oriented architectures from monolithic apps, where a big mass of code runs a series of processes from start to finish, is on the same scale as the move from mainframes to client-server systems, contends Gary Free, senior systems consultant at health insurer Highmark Inc., and it's fraught with as much uncertainty.
Highmark is considering creating a role of "SOA business-process analyst" to formulate a deep understanding of the company's business and identify frequently repeated processes that can be rebuilt as services, says VP of technology Michael Kronenwetter.

 Lightwave - Reach extension of CWDM transmission systems using SOAs
It is important to operate the SOA in the linear region to minimize the channel crosstalk nonlinear effect known as cross gain modulation (XGM).
Bearing that in mind, it is necessary to move the position of the gain peak of the SOA amplifier, adjust the antireflection coating parameters, and modify the strain and the waveguide design to achieve a line amplifier with an optimum performance.
The additional system margin provided by an SOA can be used to increase the transmission distance, compensate for losses within a node, or facilitate the implementation of ring architectures where signals may arrive at their destination from a variety of routes.

 Akiner: Cultural Learnings of SOAS for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Uzbekistan : Melbourne Indymedia
The charge was levelled at SOAS director Mr Colin Bundy by Mr Murray in a dispute over one of the school’s lecturers accused of producing a "propagandist" report on the Massacre of Andijan.
The SOAS lecturer said she went to Uzbekistan to deal with the aftermath of the cancellation, due to the Andijan violence, of a NATO conference on religious extremism that she had organized.
In his email to the SOAS director, Craig Murray stated that his qualm is not with Dr Akiner’s political views, but rather that an institution such as SOAS can have a lecturer in the affairs of such a volatile region, who admits to having ties to the Uzbek regime and actively acts as its "apologist".

 Melanie Phillips's Diary
I believe the reason given for the emergency meeting was ludicrous - that the Mayor was due to appear soon at SOAS and the Union wanted to know whether he would be introduced as merely the Mayor or also as Honorary Union President.
The SOAS administration in that instance intervened to overturn the ban, but on the night of the event a false fire alarm was set off as the talk was due to begin and a glass front door at SOAS was smashed.
We wait to see whether SOAS will now take action against this venomous prejudice and hatred which make such a mockery of an academic institution, quite apart from being a gross affront to decency.

 Lightwave - SOAs still awaiting big chance
Several years ago, state-of-the-art SOAs featured a noise figure of around 8 or 9 dB, a far cry from the 5-dB noise figure of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) with which the SOA competes in certain applications.
Meanwhile, nonlinear SOAs, which fall into the traveling wave camp, also are experiencing a slight uptick in interest, thanks to the emergence of 40-Gbit/sec optical switching applications, such as regeneration and wavelength conversion, say the folks at CIP.
Kailight Photonics is using its homegrown SOA not as an amplifier but as a nonlinear device to perform the cross-phase modulation necessary for all-optical signal regeneration, which Salisbury claims is “the wave of the future.

 What is Service-Oriented Architecture? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
Though built on similar principles, SOA is not the same as Web services, which indicates a collection of technologies, such as SOAP and XML.
SOA is more than a set of technologies and runs independent of any specific technologies.
This is the first in a series of papers intended to help you better understand the value of a service-oriented architecture (SOA), and to develop a realistic plan for evaluating your current infrastructure and migrating it to a true service-oriented architecture.

 Ten emerging Best Practices for building SOAs
Today's applications of Web Services tend to focus on the details, while the best approach to formulating a SOA strategy is to consider all aspects of the IT infrastructure, both inside the enterprise and among the company's partners.
In an SOA, developers should construct the Services to be as simple as possible, where they continually refactor them so that they are as broadly applicable as is practical.
Once the SOA is in place, new business requirements will continue to cross the Service model to the IT staff, requiring new and updated Services.

But, as SOAS moved away from these short commercial courses towards the development of its university courses, the School was delighted to be offered space for a new building within the Bloomsbury precinct by the University of London.
One of the Hayter Report’s prime recommendations was that SOAS Library should be regarded as a national resource.
Today SOAS remains the only higher education institution in the UK specialising in the study of subjects concerned with Asia, Africa and the Near and Middle East.

 SOAS and LSE, Swings and Roundabouts
Last year, the idea of an Israeli official speaking at SOAS was so abhorrent to the SOAS Union and some student groups that we saw an attempted ban, protests, a fire alarm and destruction of school property.
I was not present, but the reports I received said these students were met with derision and laughter, and even students sympathetic to their message said that this LSE group went too far.
I was also later told by a student affiliated with the SOAS Palestine Society that they did not support this theatrical protest, and wondered why an LSE group shlepped (not the word he used!) all the way to SOAS to do it.
