« I'm an SOA Consultant, and I'm Here to Help... | Main | 'Best in Class' or 'Laggard'? New Studies Show Mixed SOA Progress » August 15, 2007EDA, Business Driven Design, Web 2.0, Open Source -- SOA in Action! Things are gearing up for the SOA in Action virtual conference scheduled for October 30 and 31st -- just a couple of months away, believe it or not! The folks at ebizQ have assembled an incredible schedule of top-flight speakers and compelling topics: Gartner's Roy Schulte -- who shaped much of today's SOA thinking -- will kick off the event with a discussion of the progress (or lack thereof) with SOA and Web services standards; the rise of Event Driven Architecture, and the latest developments around Business Activity Monitoring. Then, Brenda Michelson and ebizQ's own Beth Gold-Bernstein -- two of the top thinkers in SOA today -- collaborate on a joint presentation on business driven design, which is a method for creating right-sized business services that can be traced back to business requirements. This is sorely needed in today's enterprises, many of which are struggling to strengthen the link between technology and business value using SOA. Following Brenda and Beth, yours truly will moderate a panel discussion on the convergence (or lack thereof) between SOA and Web 2.0 approaches. I hope to help explore how to connect the dots between Web 2.0 and SOA. To wrap up this first day, Dennis Byron, our resident open source guru, will lead a session that connects the dots between open source software and SOA. The session will present new ebizQ research into the various ways that open source software (OSS) enables SOA. Forrester's Randy Heffner keynotes Day Two of the conference, with a discussion of the major categories of SOA infrastructure products, as well as providing guidance on how to construct a workable plan for evolving into a strategic SOA platform. Dave Linthicum -- a very informative speaker and writer who practices what he preaches -- follows up with an overview of SOA security strategies -- something we need more of. To wrap it all up, Beth will moderate a panel that will look at the converging trends of BI, BPM, and EDA as they tie into SOA.
