"SOA and Cloud Computing - A Match Made in Heaven?"

Speaker: David Chappell (Oracle)

Day 1: SOA & Cloud Computing

What do we not have Clouds of? We have clouds of storage, application platforms, and applications. Whilst each of these approaches has merits, how should enterprises looking to adopt Cloud-based computing models, the critical question that arises, is this "what is the appropriate level of abstraction for the enterprise private cloud? Should it be based on shared storage, servers or software components?" Could SOA in the Cloud be the sweet spot for such organizations looking to leverage Clouds principles within their four walls? In this session, we will outline the key architectural components of an enterprise private Cloud that leverages core foundational technologies, including messaging and ESBs, to deliver on the sweet spot for enterprise private cloud - an environment that speeds up time to market, reduces both hardware and software costs, and delivers improved service levels and disaster recovery for all applications - not just mission critical ones.

"SOA Trends: The Direction of the Next Generation"

Day 1: Expert Panels

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. Panelists (in alphabetical order): Paul Brown, David Chappell, Pethuru Cheliah, Dirk Krafzig, Art Ligthart (Moderator), Richard Watson

"Next Generation Service-Orientation: The Grid, The Cloud, and The Bus"

Speaker: David Chappell (Oracle)

Day 2: Second Opening Keynote

SOA continues to achieve worldwide adoption as nearly every IT organization across the globe has some sort of funded SOA project. The next set of computing innovations that are grabbing the attention of SOA practitioners are grid computing, application virtualization, and cloud computing. But have we finished solving the challenges of SOA yet? In fact, as an industry we are still far from declaring victory on SOA. What is important to understand is that these new service technologies on the horizon can actually help us adopt and achieve success with SOA faster than ever before. In this talk we will show how grid technology, combined with service-orientation principles and virtualization techniques, can enable the next generation of service-oriented architecture. Using specific architectural patterns, service-oriented applications can achieve predictable scalability and high availability in a corporate cloud environment. Join me as we establish how next generation grid-based, service-oriented application architectures can be built to take advantage of scalable, predictable, virtualized environments capable of adapting to the ever-changing needs of modern-day business.

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

Day 2: Expert Panels

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. Panelists (in alphabetical order): David Chappell, Brian Loesgen, Thomas Rischbeck, Satadru Roy, Herbjorn Wilhelmsen (Moderator)
