SOA certification program officially launched: "The SOA Enterprise Architecture certification program was officially announced at BEAWorld Beijing this week. Certification is based on successfully completing three phases. Phase 1 is already available; Phase 2 will be available by end of December 2005; and Phase 3 is scheduled for mid-2006 release."
