| This 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. | |

This session will focus on how to leverage agile methods and "just enough" governance in Web and SOA efforts. | |
Monday
10:15 AM-11:15 AM | | |
| If development tools can do integration, and if integration tools can do development, and both enable SOA, then how will software designers, system engineers and architects choose any form of development, integration and platform middleware to support SOA and application deployment? In this session we put all that confusing middleware into perspective and will help you choose. | |
Monday
11:30 AM-12:30 PM | | |
| In many organizations, developers and architects seem to inhabit separate worlds, with different priorities and ways of working. 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. | |

| Gartner defines "governance" as a set of processes that define decisions and authority rights. 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." | |
Monday
11:30 AM-12:30 PM | | |
| Can modern AD be delivered on yesterday’s application platforms? The options for enabling legacy applications and platforms through SOA will be outlined, as well as the options for leveraging legacy systems for new AD. | |

| Web services (Ws-*) and REST/POX-based Web-oriented architecture (WOA) have fundamental differences that will significantly affect design choices. 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. | |
