Mapping
Component Complexity
As IT and business decouples into every smaller pieces and
components, the task of simply keep track of all of the pieces
can become daunting. With this level of complexity the component
architecture for a F500 company will end up being a critical
point of coordination for risk mitigation and reliable, high
integrity applications.
Learn about the basics of how a service oriented architecture can be deployed in a managed environment through the use of sophisticated visualization methods and techniques; including a peek at some of the newest technology available for architecture visualiztion and IT portfolio management.
Guaranteed to be a thought provoking! Jeff is regarded as a dynamic, charismatic speaker whose lively, fast-paced presentations capture audiences' imagination and attention. Although the topic can be intimidating Jeff's unique strength is his talent for being able to explain technical subject material to technical and non-technical audiences in an easy-to-understand and entertaining manner. You'll leave with the confidence of knowing how to take stock of the many pieces supporting your agile enterprise architecture.

This introductory pre-conference seminar will provide attendees with a common vocabulary and a baseline level of understanding regarding the next big ascendant technology - Web Services.
Web Services are the transactional equivalent of the eyeball Web, but with program-to-program B2B interactions in place of program-to-browser B2C interactions. This presentation examines what’s hot, what’s not, what’s real, what’s hype, where the market’s heading, who the key players are, and how competitive offerings stack-up against one another - from vendors such as Microsoft, Sun, IBM, HP, Oracle, Sybase, BEA, and SAP, among others.
Web Services are software building blocks - a collection of functions or processing logic - packaged-up and published to the Internet for applications to use. Developers build applications by aggregating Web Services that orchestrate the flow of data within and across enterprise boundaries. Web Services use XML messaging to partition and integrate applications- enabling platform-neutral and environment-neutral interoperability. What makes the Web Services model so compelling is its set of industry-standard core infrastructure technologies for interoperability - XML, SOAP, WSDL, and UDDI - which are independent of underlying programming languages, tools, hardware, or operating systems.
What Attendees Will Learn:
- the driving technological forces pushing the Internet to Web Services
- key enabling technologies
- XML
- SOAP
- Service Oriented Architecture
- Roles
- Service Provider
- Service Requester
- Service Broker
- Operations
- Publish
- Find
- Bind
- WSDL - Web Services Description Language
- UDDI - Universal Description, Discovery & Integration
- Web Services & Business Processes
- Web Services & Integration
- Web Services & Standards
- Attendees receive a free complimentary IT Infrastructure Roadmap wall poster.

IT organizations are drowning in their own computing infrastructure and applications portfolio. Over the past five years, operating at “web speed,” both industry and government have invested massive amounts of money into computer and communications equipment. Meanwhile IT, technologically, has been subjected to wave after wave of paradigm shifts -relational, ethernet, client/server, object-oriented, the Internet. Future forecasts alarmingly warn of continuously accelerating technological change.
IT standards and architectures are the glue that unites global IT communities. This presentation will show how top-tier, leading-edge companies and government organizations are developing and using IT portals to manage and control corporate IT standards and leveraging shared organizational knowledge, especially among groups of people who share common experiences because they work with common tools.

From
Middleware to Web Services
The Web changes everything. Software development’s middleware
design center has already shifted from a focus on application
partitioning and integration to dynamic Web services. Following
the lead of Microsoft’s .Net initiative and Oracle’s
.NOW portlets, companies including IBM, HP and Sun Microsystems
have all announced how they envision using the Internet as
the primary means of delivering software. This seminar explores
the impact of this transformation on application development
and deployment. Attendees will receive a free copy of Jeff
Tash’s new FlashMap Infrastructure wall poster which
represents the next generation follow-on to the very popular
Client/Server Middleware RoadMaps published in Computerworld.
Topics to be covered include:
- Internet standards
- Markup and style languages
- 21st century IT enterprise architecture challenges (B2B, B2C, B2E, A2A, P2P)
- Decoupled asynchronous computing
- Web service requester, providers, and brokers
- An analysis of vendor strategies (Microsoft, Oracle, IBM, HP, Sun, BEA)

IT
Portals and IT Standards
IT standards and architectures are the glue that unites global
IT communities, while IT portals serve as the foundation for
leveraging shared organizational knowledge, especially among
groups of people who share common experiences because they
work with common tools. An IT portal can also communicate,
manage and control corporate IT standards. This presentation
will show how top-tier, leading-edge companies and government
organizations are today, developing and using IT portals to
architect and disseminate enterprise standards.
