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.

Microservices Architecture
I wrote a piece on InfoQ a while back on Microservices and SOA. While researching for the article and afterwards, I was struck by something else I wrote almost 8 years ago around SOA 2.0. I've got to say that I see a lot of similarities: people trying to come up with new terms for something that already exists and which really doesn't need to be redefined just better understood! Please, no Microservices. Let's stick with SOA!
