I work for Red Hat, where I lead JBoss technical direction and research/development. Prior to this I was SOA Technical Development Manager and Director of Standards. I was Chief Architect and co-founder at Arjuna Technologies, an HP spin-off (where I was a Distinguished Engineer). I've been working in the area of reliable distributed systems since the mid-80's. My PhD was on fault-tolerant distributed systems, replication and transactions. I'm also a Professor at Newcastle University and Lyon.

REST versus SOAP
An interesting discussion going on here and here. I've watched these sorts of things happen over and over again for the past few years and it just seems to me like "use the right tool for the right job". Let's not have yet another "PC versus Mac" debate, or "C++ versus Java". Google use Web Services and Amazon support both approaches. There are good reasons for that.
