Service Design Workshop at Gartner Summit in Orlando
Thomas Erl (founder of SOA Systems) has been invited to deliver a pre-conference workshop at the Gartner Application Architecture, Development & Integration Summit in Orlando, Florida.
The workshop is focused on service design and governance issues and is scheduled for 3:00 PM on Sunday, June 8th, 2008. The conference will continue until June 11, 2008. All events will take place at the Marriott Resort & Convention Center.
Below is the abstract:
"Understanding Service Design for SOA"
This workshop goes beyond the basics to explore service-orientation and various analyses and design techniques for successfully realizing the strategic benefits associated with SOA and service-oriented computing. By learning what constitutes a truly "service-oriented" solution, you will gain clarity in a marketplace where many products and services are being feely branded "SOA". It will help you determine what you need in order to best apply service-orientation for your own unique requirements.
After a brief recap of fundamental SOA concepts, this workshop will drill down into service analysis and design processes, service-orientation design principles, service composition design, and service governance issues. Key design considerations and common challenges will be discussed in relation to custom-developed services and services that need to encapsulate legacy systems. We will also explain how service-orientation compares to object-oriented design and other established distributed computing design approaches.
Key issues:
- What is true “service-orientation” beyond vendor hype?
- How should services be analyzed, designed and composed?
- What are the most common design mistakes you should avoid?
- What processes and governance are most effective?
- How is service-oriented design different than other design methods?
All attendees will receive a free copy of Thomas Erl's book "SOA Principles of Service Design". See www.soabooks.com for details.
