I delivered my presentation today at SOA World — Service Oriented Patterns and Anti-patterns. The talk covered business interaction models, technology patterns and anti-patterns, and human patterns and anti-patterns. We were stuck in Sutton Suite, which is on the second floor and rather off the beaten path. I thought that the location might deter attendance, but to my surprise, the session was packed. Every seat was taken, the back of the room was full, and the audience spilled over into the hallway. The session seemed to be well received and we had some discussion around the topics as well. I hope that more work is done around the subject of patterns for service orientation. I definitely think that the OASIS Reference Model is a good start. I may take an opportunity to post my thoughts on that another time.

For those of you that were able to find the room and attend the talk, thank you so much for providing me with an opportunity to speak with you. I enjoyed it and I hope that you got something out of the session.
