Application Integration using Service Oriented Architecture and Enterprise Service Bus

The ambitious objectives of Smart Grid, when combined with some early warning signs from those who‘ve embarked on the journey, indicate that the role and complexity of IT is being grossly under-estimated, and that IT is going to play a more prominent, if not dominant, role in making Smart Grid a reality.
