and Agile and Lean software development present promising solutions for
contemporary software development projects to deal effectively with challenges
in increasingly turbulent business environments typified by unpredictable
markets, changing customer requirements, pressures of ever shorter
time-to-deliver, and rapidly advancing information technologies. Research and
practice of SOE and Agile and Lean software development have been advancing
independently over the past years and have become the prevailing system
development approaches. It is intriguing to explore the potential synergy that
comes from a combination of both areas. As distinct as they seem to be, SOE and
Agile and Lean software development may have a lot in common and can inform
each other. Therefore, </span></font><font size=3 face=Candara><span
