Presentation: "SOA Between Business and Technology"

Track: SOA: Bridging business and technology

Time: Thursday 10:15 - 10:45

Location: St James's Suite

Abstract:

Sometimes it seems too much exposure to SOA can lead to a split personality: one the one hand, SOA is supposed to be a business concept, independent of any particular technology. On the other hand, we have to actually do something and it's hard to find out what that 'something' is unless we talk about a specific technical architecture.

This talk will introduce the track and discuss why SOA can be seen as a solution for problems on multiple levels which are about as loosely coupled as any SOA can dream to become.
