Presentation: "SOA in the Real World : Introduction"

Time: Wednesday 10:30 - 10:45

Location: St. James's Suite

Abstract:

Few topics have been the subject of so much hype as service-oriented architectures (SOA), and many hours have been wasted by architects and developers looking for "the essence" of SOA.

After all the introductions, the talk about concepts, the debates surrounding them, and all the promises that have been made by various camps, this track will focus on experience gained in applying SOA in the real world.

Whether based on SOAP/WSDL-style Web services or alternative approaches such as RESTful HTTP, we will talk about the good, the bad  and the ugly.
