More trolling?

You've never provided anything in your comments more than the equivalent of "SOA sucks." I'd like to say something like "it's clear that you have no clue about what SOA is" but you've never shared your thoughts as to what it is and why you feel it is lacking. Just mindless bashing.

You're right that the basic input-process-output structure remains as it has since the dawn of computing. It is the pursuit of effective approaches to how we structure and organize those IPO components that lead us to concepts such as procedural programming, object orientation, event-driven architecure, SOA, etc.

SOA is about how one segments and structures the components that "manipulate the data" and how "you put data in" and "output what has been manipulated." For example, organizing "IPO" components in an OO manner differs from an SO manner. So while the basic IPO notion doesn't change, the style in which we arrange the components can have profound effect and benefit (or detriment).

Can you share more of the details behind your position?

IMO, SOA as a term needs to disappear. Service oriented concepts are fine and will live on but "SOA" is loaded with baggage.
