Here are 2 fairly recent articles on this topic that I happened to have handy:

Subject: [soa-forum] SOA and Mainframes: Questions

I received the following questions and would appreciate your thoughts on the answers:

 

How are agencies bringing their mainframes and mainframe applications into a service-oriented architecture framework?  What are some of the challenges they face?  I know that IBM is pushing the concept of the mainframe as a hub for SOA and has announced initiatives to get developers to create SOA-ready mainframe applications ? will all of this help agencies that have investments in big iron be better able to leverage existing legacy applications and bring them into a SOA/web services environment?

 

Thanks, Brand

 

P.S. We will have the followup conference call for starting to plan the 2nd SOA for E-Government Conference soon.
