OASIS Symposium: Composability within Service Oriented Architectures
28 April - 1 May 2008
Santa Clara, California  USA
http://events.oasis-open.org/home/symposium/2008

Call for Participation:  Deadline for submission is 17 December 2007

At the core of Service Oriented Architectures currently deployed in
businesses and governments is the ability to compose or coordinate
various pieces of applications - legacy and novel - that may be
developed on different platforms and languages, provide different
interfaces, and be managed by different owners.

We use the term "composability" to denote this quality.

This symposium addresses the various technical and business facets of
composability in SOA.  This symposium will be an opportunity for both
researchers and business practitioners to state their challenges, best
practices and experiences.  It will also be a forum where technology
architects provide a fair assessment of the current status of
composability standards and implementations, including opportunities for
improvement and potential obstacles.

OASIS invites proposals for talks, panel sessions and tutorials with a
clear  focus on answering technical or business questions on
composability within Service Oriented Architectures.  Potential topics
include, but are not limited to:

*  Orchestration and choreography of services: making composite
applications work *  Use Cases, lessons learned and best practices for a
successful SOA deployment of composability technologies *  Use of
semantic technologies to enhance SOA composability *  The standards for
SOA relating to composability: how do various standards support
composability, how do they compose with each other *  Composition of
service components using Service Component Architecture
(SCA)
*  Management and governance of distributed composite applications,
including policy management as well as the control of service interfaces
and  implementations *  Client-side composability through Web 2.0 style
mash-ups using AJAX, JSON  and related technologies *  The dynamic
aspect of composite applications: change management, discovery,
upgrades, migrations and transitions *  Organizational aspects of
designing composite applications: multi-owner systems, transitioning
from smokestack solutions to reusable service components *  Coordination
and mediation enablers: Enterprise Service Bus, rule-based engines,
service directories, etc.
*  Testing of composite applications, including the challenges of
testing across business boundaries *  The security and identity
management aspects of composability:
discovery of service failure semantics, fine grained versus coarse
grained policy propagation and enforcement, the role of identity in
composability, ensuring end to end security, privacy, and accountability
within a security realm or across security realms *  Transactions and
compensations within composite applications including ACID transactions
and long running activities across business boundaries *  Management of
composite applications - monitoring and control across distributed
heterogeneous services *  Business, military, or government specific
challenges and solutions for SOA and composability
