I had an opportunity to do a WSJ article which of course was left until the last minute and then in a frenzied brain dump this is what came out:
Deploying Large-Scale Interoperable Web Services Infrastructures
By no means perfect, not exactly rocket science and sadly I didn't have time to build some pictures to go with it, but particularly in the interoperability section and the performance section it does outline some of the very common pitfalls/solutions we run into in our customer base who are using Web services. In the management section it touches on a favourite topic of mine which is bringing a policy enforcement point into ones architecture in order to bring managability to heterogenous services.
I realized when writing it, to really discuss this topic there is enough meat for a book as many of the areas are really just mentioning a point that really should be explained by full fledged examples, especially some of the workarounds and alternatives for lack of interoperability at the reliability and security levels.
