Paid Workshop: Understanding Service Design for SOA
Sunday, 02 December 2007
03:15 PM-06:15 PM
Speaker: Thomas Erl
Location: Miranda 3
Session Type: Pre-Conference Workshop

Thomas ErlThis workshop goes beyond the basics to explore service-orientation and various analyses and design techniques for successfully realizing the strategic benefits associated with SOA and service-oriented computing. 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.
Key Issues:
  • What is true “service-orientation” beyond vendor hype? How should services be analyzed, designed and composed?
  • What are the most common design mistakes you should avoid?
  • What processes and governance are most effective?
  • How is service-oriented design different than other design methods?
  • All attendees receive a complimentary copy of "SOA: Principles of Service Design" by Thomas Erl (More information at www.soabooks.com).
