 Two-Day Public SOA Workshop in Vancouver 
SOA Systems and the University of British Columbia are pleased to present a public two-day SOA workshop.
The workshop will be delivered by Thomas Erl, the world's top-selling SOA author and Series Editor of the Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing Series. Below is the official event description: Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is at the centre 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 successful adoption of SOA can significantly benefit organizations by increasing business agility, open connectivity and interoperability, while allowing for the managed creation of an enterprise service portfolio. Join Thomas Erl, an internationally recognized SOA expert and the world’s top-selling SOA author, for this extraordinary two-day exploration of SOA and the service-oriented computing platform. Thomas will explain the benefits and challenges of adopting SOA and share numerous insights, recommendations and best practices for planning and carrying out SOA projects. The year 2006 marks a milestone in the evolution of SOA as a number of technology advancements are transpiring, carrying forward into 2007 an increasingly mature platform through which enterprise-level SOA solutions can be realized. The benefit potential of SOA is deemed so high that its successful adoption is expected to create a new breed of “agile organization”. This seminar is intended for architects, business analysts and IT decision makers interested in better understanding the current and upcoming SOA landscape. Topics include:
• The SOA Vision and Common Transition Motivators • Fundamental SOA Concepts and Considerations • The SOA Industry (how SOA is shaped by vendors and standards organizations) • How XML and Web Services relate to SOA • The Key Benefits and Pitfalls of SOA • The Principles of Service-Orientation • How to Apply Service-Orientation to Build Service-Oriented Solutions • Fundamental Service-Oriented Analysis • Fundamental Service-Oriented Design • SOA Project Planning Strategies • Service Models and Service Abstraction Layers • Creating Business-Centric Services • Strategies and Best Practices for Achieving SOA and Increasing Business Agility |
