professional development seminars sponsored by this
organization (the
SF Bay chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery)
and have
found them to be valuable and of high quality.

Topic
Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is at the center of a
new
generation computing platform positioned to revolutionize
the way we
build, govern and evolve automation solutions. SOA
introduces new
concepts, technology, and a new approach to building
solution logic
as highly composable and reusable IT assets in the form of
services.
The benefit potential of SOA is deemed so high that its
successful
adoption is expected to create a new breed of "agile
organization."
Join Robert Schneider from SOA Systems Inc. for this timely
one-day
exploration of SOA, service-orientation, and the
service-oriented
computing platform. Robert will begin by explaining the
benefits and
challenges of adopting SOA and share insights,
recommendations and
best practices for planning and carrying out SOA projects.
He will
then cover key aspects of SOA, including distinguishing
characteristics of the service-oriented architectural model,
service-oriented design and analysis approaches, the service
modeling
process, and the application of service-orientation design
principles.
Key service considerations and common challenges will also
be
discussed in relation to custom-developed services and
services that
need to encapsulate legacy systems. Robert will further
explain how
service-orientation compares to object-oriented design and
other
established distributed computing design approaches. A
primary goal
of this session to help attendees learn what constitutes a
truly
"service-oriented" solution. This will shed light
on a marketplace
where many products and services are being freely branded
"SOA".
All attendees will receive a copy the recently published
<http://www.amazon.
com/Principles-Service-Prentice-Service-Oriented-Computing/d
p/0132344823>
"SOA: Principles of Service Design", a full-color
book written by SOA
Systems founder Thomas Erl that has been endorsed by members
of IBM,
Microsoft, Oracle, BEA, Sun, Intel, SAP and HP. There will
also be a
drawing for a limited quantity of color SOA Principles
posters.
