Fw: [members] OASIS Symposium | Call for Participation Opens

["Jeffrey A. Estefan" <jeffrey.a.estefan@jpl.nasa.gov>]

Duane and Frank,

Are we planning on having some representation here?  Hope so.  We should 
talk about it during a near-term telecon.

Cheers...

 - JAE

Subject: [members] OASIS Symposium | Call for Participation Opens


>
> 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
>
> Submission guidelines and a list of frequently asked questions may be
> found on the event web site:
