Expert Panels
The 2nd International SOA Symposium and 1st International Cloud Symposium will feature eight distinct panels, all of which are scheduled at the end of a conference day so that discussions can carry on beyond the allocated time without interfering with other scheduled events.
Panels are intended to provoke discussion and debate regarding various issues and to provide conference attendees an open forum whereby they can directly ask speakers questions or request commentary.
As with select speaker sessions, several of the following panels will also be video taped and made available in electronic format for conference registrants to view via a password-protected page that will be posted subsequent to the event conclusion.

"SOA Trends: The Direction of the Next Generation"

October 22, 2009 - 17:30
There are many different services-based technologies currently in development, ranging from services for embedded devices and mesh computing to SOA fabrics and dynamic SOA infrastructure. The panel will discuss which of these innovations are relevant today, which to watch out for in the near future, and which are still in the questionable "hype" stage.

"SOA in the Cloud: How Do Cloud-Based Services
Change the Way We Build Service-Oriented Solutions?"

October 22, 2009 - 17:30
Cloud-based services and platforms can benefit from being architecturally shaped by service-orientation and SOA patterns and best practices. But when building service-oriented solutions that incorporate or are entirely comprised of cloud-based services, what new design, development, and deployment considerations does this raise? The panel will discuss how the inclusion of cloud-based technology impacts SOA.

"SOA is Dead, Long Live Next Generation SOA"

October 22, 2009 - 17:30
The emergence of Next Generation SOA as a successor to "old" SOA marks a pivotal milestone in IT history. The panel will discuss what exactly warrants this transition and why the maturation and adoption of formal practices, principles and patterns is so critical to making the most out of what modern services technologies and platforms have to offer.

"Agile Development and Service-Orientation:
Can They be Successfully Combined?"

October 22, 2009 - 17:30
Agile development and SOA methodologies both speak to tighter collaboration of business to IT, but the mechanisms each approach is based on is dramatically different and in some cases clearly conflicting. How then can these two methodologies be successfully combined? The panel will voice opinions regarding the compatibility and disparity of these two methodologies.

"The Modern ESB: What's New? What's Old?"

October 23, 2009 - 17:30
What exactly constitutes the "modern" ESB? The panel will discuss the most current innovations pertaining to contemporary enterprise service bus products and technologies, including connection points to modern SOA infrastructure platforms, such as grid computing and cloud computing. Panelists will also field questions regarding the latest techniques for designing service-oriented architectures with ESB middleware.

"Today's SOA Governance Platforms:
Are They Mature Enough?"

October 23, 2009 - 17:30
Governance has been repeatedly touted as one of the most critical success factors for SOA initiatives, especially in pursuit of realizing long-term benefits and value from services. There are obvious organizational challenges to establishing an effective governance model, but what about governance technology platforms? Different vendors offer tools for the administration, monitoring, and scaling of services, but how mature and reliable and sophisticated are they? Are we where we need to be with governance platforms, or are there still gaps that need to be filled?

"Modern Service Security: Do's, Don'ts and Never's"

October 23, 2009 - 17:30
One topic that can never be sufficiently discussed is that of service security. A panel of security experts will answer questions regarding practices, technologies, patterns, and upcoming trends in the field of SOA security.

"Will the Open Cloud Become a Reality?"

October 23, 2009 - 17:30
One of the greatest challenges facing the on-going evolution of the Cloud Computing platform is inter-Cloud provider compatibility. Few standards and conventions exist that will allow organizations with services and data at one Cloud provider to move to another. The Open Cloud community is intending to change that, but what needs to be accomplished in order for this movement to succeed?
