"SOA, Software + Services & Cloud Computing"

Speaker: Jason Hogg (Microsoft)

Day 2: SOA & Cloud Computing

Organizations evaluating Microsoft's Software + Services and Cloud Computing (Azure) offerings must first have a well thought-out SOA strategy in order to maximize the return on their investment. They must further understand how the Software + Services platform and the related emerging Azure Services platform can be shaped with SOA principles in order to establish a sound and standardized services eco-system that can build up on and extend service-oriented architecture implementations. This presentation will describe the relationship between these various paradigms, including detailed discussions of topics relevant to enterprise architects, software architects and infrastructure architects with an emphasis on applying and realizing service-orientation with current and emerging Microsoft cloud computing technologies.

"Understanding SOA Security Patterns"

Speaker: Jason Hogg (Microsoft)

Day 2: SOA Design Patterns & Service Engineering

Service-oriented solutions are distributed applications and therefore rely on many of the established security controls, practices, and technologies. However, there are distinct characteristics that make services and service compositions special. For example, designing distributed systems that will with greater frequency span organizational boundaries requires architects to understand threats associated with exposing such functionality on potentially hostile networks. This presentation walks through a number of the SOA design patterns that are specific to services, processes, and SOA security in general. In this talk we will introduce and explain these patterns and discuss how they can be applied to establish a secure foundation to service-oriented systems.

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

Day 1: Expert Panels

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. Panelists (in alphabetical order): Toufic Boubez, Simone Brunozzi, Jason Hogg, David Van Puyvelde, Herbjorn Wilhelmsen (Moderator)
