I know from too many years in graduate school what silos academics can construct.

One of the key question in this list is the last one: Will SOA lead to "silo services".

From our view, the mobile applications of today have a certain silo effect.

Should you be flying with the Donald, you can expect to be seated in the aircraft’s wood paneled and suede ceiling covered passenger cabin.

On a side note, SOA is not just about reuse and generalization; it is about creating small units (services) that deliver value instead of hard to change silos.
