About the Authors

Antony Reynolds has worked in the IT industry for more than 25 years, first getting a job to maintain yield calculations for a zinc smelter while still an undergraduate. After graduating from the University of Bristol with a degree in Mathematics and Computer Science, he worked first for a software house, IPL in Bath, England, before joining the travel reservations system Galileo as a development team lead. Galileo gave him the opportunity to work in Colorado and Illinois where he developed a love for the Rockies and Chicago style deep pan pizza.

Since joining Oracle in 1998, he has worked in sales consulting and support. He currently works as a Sales Consultant helping customers across North America realize the benefits of standards based integration and SOA. While at Oracle he has co-authored Oracle SOA Suite Developer's Guide, Packt Publishing and Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1 Developer's Guide, Packt Publishing.

Antony lives in Colorado with his wife and four children who make sure that he is gainfully employed playing games, watching movies, and acting as an auxiliary taxi service. He is a slow but steady runner and can often be seen jogging up and down the trails in the shadow of the Rocky Mountains.

I would like to thank my wife Rowan, and my four very patient children, who have put up with my staying at home on family trips and working late nights in my basement office as I completed this book. My managers Ed Lee and Troy Hewitt were very supportive and many of my colleagues contributed knowingly or unknowingly to the recipes.

I am appreciative of Michael Weingartner and his team for their continued enhancement and development of the SOA Suite which has enabled Matt and myself to write this book. The reviewers provided valuable guidance and corrections and any errors still remaining are entirely mine. Finally, the team at Packt Publishing constantly nagged and cajoled Matt and myself to keep some sort of schedule. Without them this book would still be on the drawing board.

Matt Wright is a director at Rubicon Red, an independent consulting firm helping customers enable enterprise agility and operational excellence through the adoption of technologies such as Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), Business Process Management (BPM), and Cloud Computing.

With over 20 years of experience in building enterprise scale distributed systems, Matt first became involved with SOA shortly after the initial submission of SOAP 1.1 to the W3C in 2000, and has worked with some of the early adopters of BPEL since its initial release in 2002. Since then, he has been engaged in some of the earliest SOA-based implementations across EMEA and APAC.

Prior to Rubicon Red, he held various senior roles within Oracle, most recently as Director of Product Management for Oracle Fusion Middleware in APAC, where he was responsible for working with organizations to educate and enable them in realizing the full business benefits of SOA in solving complex business problems.

As a recognized authority on SOA, he is a regular speaker and instructor at private and public events. He also enjoys writing and publishes his own blog (http://blogs.bpel-people.com). He holds a B.Sc. (Eng) in Computer Science from Imperial College, University of London.

He has worked on Oracle SOA Suite Developer's Guide, Packt Publishing and Oracle SOA Suite 11g R1 Developer's Guide, Packt Publishing.

I would like to express my deep appreciation to everyone who has reviewed this book. Their invaluable feedback and advice not only helped to validate the overall accuracy of the content, but more importantly ensure its clarity and readability.

A book like this doesn't make it into print without a lot of work from the publisher. I would like to thank the team at Packt Publishing for all their support; especially Stephanie Moss, Leena Purkait, and Susmita Panda.

A special mention must go to John Deeb for his continual encouragement, input, and above all support in ensuring that I found time to write the book; I couldn't ask for a more supportive friend and business partner.

Finally, I would like to say a very, very special thank you to my wife Natasha and my children Elliot and Kimberley, who have been incredibly patient and supportive in allowing me to spend far too many evenings and weekends stuck away in my office writing this book.
