Presentation: "Cloud Panel Discussion"

Track: Cloud

Time: Monday 15:40 - 16:30

Location: Lille Sal

Abstract: The premise is simple. In the future, we won't have or even need all our data or software programs on our own computers -- they'll be floating around somewhere on somebody else's servers, accessible via the internet. A vast, interconnected "nebula" of other people's data and servers, aka the "Cloud". Is this Web 3.0, SOA 2.0, something entirely different, or the same old stuff once again repackaged by the marketing department? Listen to our industry experts' views and opinions (they are sure to have many!) as they debate what it means to live in the cloud. Conferences are all about interaction, so please come and interact with us by posing questions to the panel.

Presentation: "Successfully applying REST - Integration, Web-style"

Track: REST - A New Foundation For SOA?

Time: Tuesday 14:40 - 15:30

Abstract: REST, short for REpresentational State Transfer, is a name for the architectural principles underlying the world's largest and most successful distributed system - the World Wide Web. In this talk, Stefan will describe the key REST principles and the reason for their existence, and explore some useful patterns to follow and anti-patterns to avoid when building systems following the REST architectural style.
