Presentation: "Web-Oriented Architecture (WOA)"

Time: Wednesday 13:00 - 14:00

Location: Fleming Room

Abstract: This in-depth session examines an emerging set of innovative strategies for building applications using open standard Web technologies combined with newer, lightweight application development patterns. These includes RESTful services, linked data ecosystems, mashups, cloud computing, open APIs, and new productivity-oriented software development models. Often known as Web-Oriented Architecture (WOA), these pragmatic new techniques have been culled from repeated online success stories and popularity within the Internet development community. With the Web now driving the largest application systems that exist today in terms of users and data, this technical session explores the latest lessons, design patterns, and best practices coming from the Web industry in terms of product models, software architecture, design, deployment, and operations. These ideas are framed up in detail in a coherent framework with the latest techniques and models for distributed application architecture. Note: This session is complementary to the full-day WOA Tutorial available at the conference.
