By learning what constitutes a truly "service-oriented" solution, you will gain clarity in a marketplace where many products and services are being feely branded "SOA." It will help you determine what you need in order to best apply service-orientation for your own unique requirements. After a brief recap of fundamental SOA concepts, this workshop will drill down into service analysis and design processes, service-orientation design principles, service composition design and service governance issues. Key design considerations and common challenges will be discussed in relation to custom-developed services, and services that need to encapsulate legacy systems. We will also explain how service-orientation compares to object-oriented design and other established distributed computing design approaches.

Consequently, many have fallen behind and need modernization. But modern techniques and approaches differ radically from those of the past, and organizations will need process, methodology and even governance changes to achieve optimal benefits. This presentation will identify 10 initiatives that can significantly modernize your applications environment.

This, despite the fact that these two groups are cut from the same cloth. The value proposition of SOA is to enable complex systems to evolve and adapt to shifting real-world requirements. But often, the concepts of SOA must themselves adapt to meet the real-world circumstances of developers, organizational structure, governance and corporate culture. Conversely, development teams must adapt their skills, processes and vocabulary to meet the challenge of implementing SOA.

What was leading-edge yesterday is common reality today and "legacy" tomorrow. Seasoned IT leaders learn to let the waves pass. Yet some such waves must not be ignored for they carry discontinuities and opportunities, not just hype or incremental change.

Far from being a set of monolithic processes that "get in the way" of developers, our view of governance is active and based on organizational goals. This presentation discusses the governance map and the steps required for an AD organization as they set up and implement agile AD governance processes. Agile development stems from the need to validate users’ requirements via software that addresses their priority needs quickly, if approximately – then improve iteratively and move on to the next priorities. This presentation helps separate agile fact from fiction to support AD’s use of "just enough process."

Web service (Ws-*) standards are progressing slowly, and adoption is less-dramatic and widespread than initially anticipated. WOA is rapidly emerging but lacks maturity and robustness for enterprise application-to-application (A2A) integration. Organizations should not hastily commit to either WS-* or WOA but must consider a blended architecture. Application architects undertaking initiatives to increase application agility must understand the differences and how they apply to specific SOA system requirements.

And most people would say they implement SOA for two major reasons: to save development dollars through reuse of services, and to allow IT infrastructure to be more agile. But few have a clear idea how to determine the ROI, justify the real value, and fewer still have a clear idea of how to fund both upfront and recurring SOA costs. In this interactive panel, seasoned practitioners will share their lessons learned and approaches to justifying and funding SOA. (55 min) Todd Biske, Dennis Chang, Victor Harrison, L.

However, user experience goes beyond just the presentation, and can determine the success or failure of entire businesses. This session examines the emergence of user experience as a key measure of value in a Web 2.0 and service-oriented world.

Project managers blow estimates, business analysts generate bad requirements, management sets unrealistic expectations and delivery dates…and developers pay the price. How can this be fixed? By empowering developers to take a more active role in the tactical execution of development projects through an effective project methodology and developer toolset. This session will be unique: it will be as much a presentation –laying out a framework used at Turner Broadcasting based upon “Feature Driven Development”, its principles, phases, and execution - as it will be a conversation, where attendees can bring all their questions related to the implementation of an agile development process.

Iterative development is not new, but agile and lean add the extra dimension of tight business and IT collaboration within the context of lightweight discipline. Managing agile projects to gain and maintain agreement on scope, understand the effect of changes and more, is difficult with an agile approach. Factor in external service providers and agile emphasis on lightweight requirements and planning, and you have serious contractual issues to deal with. This presentation helps separate agile fact from fiction to support AD's use of "just enough process" to gain optimum return on agile methods.

In this interactive session, a panel of analysts will examine the latest events in the software industry, and the potential future scenarios. Attendees will be encouraged to share their experience and help envision what these trends will mean for them over the next 5-10 years. Come prepared to speak up and see through the hype!
