OASIS to Host Conference on Building Composable SOA Apps
BOSTON, March 17 -- “Composability within SOA” will be the focus of Open Standards 2008, the fifth annual symposium hosted by OASIS, the international, not-for-profit consortium. The event, which will be held from April 28 through May 1 in Santa Clara, Calif., will examine the critical issues faced when architecting service-oriented applications and the benefits being reaped by real-world implementations that take advantage of Web services transactions. Presentations on the Business Process Execution Language (BPEL), Service Component Architecture (SCA), Service Data Objects (SDO), WS-Transaction, and related standards will be featured.
In an Open Standards 2008 keynote address, Peter Carbone, vice president of SOA in the office of the CTO at Nortel, will share insights on the new realities presented by communications-enabled applications and the opportunities they create for standards development, software vendors, and service providers. According to Carbone, “Communications-enabled applications are requiring current SOA frameworks to extend capabilities. They're testing accepted definitions of scale, scope, performance, and even partnership models.”
Doug Shoupp, principal with Deloitte Consulting LLP, will address the concept of “services thinking” in a second keynote. “To unlock the enormous potential of SOA, you need to raise the discussion from the IT shop to the executive suite and focus on longterm business agility and execution within organizations,” Shoupp said.
SAP AG, Premiere Sponsor of Opens Standards 2008, will moderate the closing panel, “SOA within the Vertical Industries.” Representatives from OpenTravel, TM Forum, and the U.S. Veterans Health Administration will participate in this panel.
“I'm looking forward to leading a lively discussion with representatives from vertical industry consortia on how the application of SOA concepts and standards varies across different industry sectors, and what we can expect for the future,” said Claus von Riegen, director of technology standards and open source at SAP AG.
The OASIS Open CSA Member Section will host a table-top exhibition showcasing SCA and SDO supporters, BEA, IBM, Primeton, Rogue Wave, SAP, Software AG, and Sun Microsystems. Executives from these companies will participate in a press briefing on the current state of SCA at noon on April 29.
