CSA Member Section, InfoQ, TM Forum and OpenTravel 

If you're in the process of designing or deploying an SOA system, this
conference is for you. You should attend if you're a CIO, system integrator,
or senior IT decision-maker anxious to explore the advantages of applying
Service-Oriented Architecture techniques for assembling and tuning
applications developed on different platforms and managed by different
owners.

This year's symposium will address the various technical and business facets
of composability in SOA. It's 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.  Plenty of time for networking with the speakers and other
attendees will also be on the agenda. 

Keynote addresses:
Peter Carbone, Vice President-Service Oriented Architecture at Nortel 
Douglas Shoupp, Principal at Deloitte Consulting LLP
