Presentation: "Transforming Software Architecture with Web as Platform"

Time: Monday 11:00 - 12:00

Location: To be announced

Abstract: Web-Oriented Architecture (WOA) is based on the immense tensile strength of the World Wide Web itself and its underlying architectural fundamentals. And it's based on the basic concepts and rich outcomes that have made the Web far and away the largest open network on the planet as well as the largest SOA presently in existence. At the leading end of this is the Web mashups story with enterprise mashups being one of the major improvements to the IT landscape that WOA is heralding. I hope to explain WOA as simply as I can. This is still important because WOA just isn't standard fare yet for discussion in many IT circles while it's something that folks that build online services out on the globally scalable consumer Web increasingly take for granted.
Keywords: WOA, SOA, Web 2.0, Architecture
