Frank Cohen demonstrates building a service architecture implemented with native XML technologies (both commercial and open-source,) he will compare the effort to build the application with these tools, and he will demonstrate the performance of each using a load test of the implementations. Frank will show the design and test methodology for a new architecture he calls FastSOA and the results of a recently completed performance and scalability comparison of native XML tools.
Frank Cohen is the "go to" guy when enterprises need to build, test, and solve performance and scalability problems in complex interoperating information systems. Frank's articles appear on IBM developerWorks, and he is author of FastSOA: The way to use native XML technology for SOA governance, scalability and performance (Morgan Kaufmann Publishers 2006) and Java Testing and Design: From Unit Tests to Automated Web Tests (Prentice Hall 2004.) He is the principal maintainer of the popular TestMaker open-source test utility and framework, and Director of Solutions Engineering at Raining Data, publisher of the TigerLogic XQuery engine and native XML database.
SOA Development using JBossESB— Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) are the buzzwords of choice today. However, where do they fit in with IT development (and budgets)? What is their relationship to Web Services and the rapidly evolving WS-* architecture? In this presentation, we'll look at SOA and ESB concepts, relate them to what is happening with the JBossESB product and how you can plan your IT development accordingly.
ServiceMix— Apache ServiceMix is an Open Source ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) that combines the functionality of a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and an Event Driven Architecture (EDA) to create an agile, enterprise ESB.
Solving the SOA Paradox through Application Performance Monitoring— Enterprises are deploying SOAs to gain business flexibility and efficiency. However when it comes to ensuring superior performance this approach and the technologies that underpin it, pose special management challenges. The loose coupling of services offers clear benefits - such as better alignment between business and IT; however, the complexities of service-orientation bring hidden performance risks. SOAs are simply the next generation of composite web applications, which CA Wily has been managing for over 9 years. They do have specific management challenges, but these must be considered in the context of the whole web application infrastructure through which Web services transactions flow.
Master Data Management and SOA— This session will let you discover what Master Data Management is all about and how it can be concretely implemented. You will understand the added value of Master Data Management in a Service oriented Architecture.
Mule 2 and Beyond— Mule is one of the leading open source ESB and integration framework. It's focus has always been on the developer with the aim of simplifying the difficult task of implementing an integration or SOA project. The focus Mule 2.0 is to make things even easier, more powerful even more robust. This talk will pivot on some of the new features of Mule.
