xOA and SOA++

Have you ever come across acronyms such as WOA, ROA, ..? Since the success story of SOA (Service Oriented Architecture), many researchers and young enthusiasts have been trying to find more xOA (-Oriented Architectures) that can take SOA a step further (or claim to do so, at least in theory). Here I try to list some of those xOAs. Most of them (WOA, XOA, UOA ..) promise to take SOA to a level higher, or try to pose as an alternative or competitor to SOA.

Just go through these links and have some fun.

AOA (Agent Oriented Architecture)
BOA (Business Oriented Architecture)
COA (Collaboration Oriented Architecture)
DOA (Delegation Oriented Architecture)
EOA (Ecosystem Oriented Architecture)
FOA (Federation Oriented Architecture)
GOA (Goal Oriented Architecture)
HOA (Human Oriented Architecture)
IOA (Information Oriented Architecture)
MOA (Model Oriented Architecure)
POA (Process Oriented Architecture)
ROA (Resource Oriented Architecture)
SOA (Service Oriented Architecture)
UOA (User Oriented Architecture)
VOA (Virtualization Oriented Architecture)
WOA (Web Oriented Architecture)
XOA (Experience Oriented Architecture)

Pls note that there may be some alternative definitions for some of these acronyms as well.
