 <title>Enterprise Service Bus Guidance Seminar</title>
 <link>http://www.avantage.com/events/2008/05/enterprise-service-bus-guidance-seminar</link>
 <description>The term Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is widely used in the context of implementing an infrastructure for enabling a service-oriented architecture (SOA). However, real-world experience with the deployment of SOAs has shown that an ESB is only one of a number of building blocks that make up a comprehensive Service-Oriented Infrastructure (SOI). The term ESB has morphed in a number of different directions, and its definition depends on the interpretation of individual ESB and integration platform vendors and on the requirements of particular SOA initiatives.
