About the Author

Dr. Paul C. Brown is a principal software architect at TIBCO Software Inc., author of Succeeding with SOA: Realizing Business Value Through Total Architecture (Addison-Wesley, 2007) and Implementing SOA: Total Architecture In Practice (Addison-Wesley, 2008), and a coauthor of the SOA Manifesto (soa-manifesto.org). His model-based tool architectures are the foundation of a diverse family of applications that design distributed control systems, process control interfaces, internal combustion engines, and NASA satellite missions. Dr. Brown’s extensive design work on enterprise-scale information systems led him to develop the total architecture concept: Business processes and information systems are so intertwined that they must be architected together. Dr. Brown received his Ph.D. in computer science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and his BSEE from Union College. He is a member of IEEE and ACM.
