This paper discusses the advantages of building distributed service-oriented architectures and identifies components for successful deployment and management of distributed processes, including Web services.   Whitepaper: Massive Scalability OSS developers have moved away from monolithic, telecommunications-specific architectures and embraced off-the-shelf multitier architectures and distributed-object middleware. Initiatives such as the OSS through Java Initiative (OSS/J) promote the adoption of a component-based approach to developing OSS solutions. This paper demonstrates OSS/J deployment strategies and patterns that accommodate performance or scalability shortfalls. Whitepaper: Raising EAI Standards This paper considers the changing dynamics of the EAI market and how these dynamics are likely to play out, focusing particularly on one aspect that could prove a real paradigm shift—the emergence of standards. The conclusion should be encouraging to any company looking to invest in EAI as a means to deliver improved business integration.
