This track we chose to describe with the description of Clemens Vasters talk;"Service Oriented Architectures":
Today's Web services story is about integration. Using open, standards-based, loosely coupled Web services technologies offers enterprises a flexible, affordable approach to integration. There is more to Web services than merely simplifying integration. In fact, they promise to fundamentally change the way software is made and used. Service oriented architectures are about data and contracts and very little about code. They reflect the reality that any "Technology Strategy 2008" that may be drawn up inside the ivory towers of corporate IT organizations is destined to fail. Technology strategies that aim to create pervasive technology platforms that shall be used by all and any applications inside an organization have traditionally failed and will fail even more in the future. Using a service oriented approach means to embrace the reality of heterogeneity and create integration strategies instead of technology strategies. Code is volatile, data stays.

In this track we also find Michi Henning describing the design (and the logic behind the design) of Ice -- The Internet Communications Engine. While similar in concept to middleware such as CORBA, Ice breaks new ground by providing a new object model that is both simpler and more powerful, getting rid of much of the inefficiencies that have plagued middleware in the past.

"Enterprise Integration Patterns" are presented by Gregor Hohpe. This talk is not an introduction to specific technologies such as SOAP or JMS, but instead deals with the challenges of designing complete integration scenarios using messaging.
(Monday 15:15 - 16:00, Conference Hall)
In his first talk in the track, Andy Longshaw will examine the Web Service capabilities of two most popular currently shipping platforms - Microsoft's .NET and Sun's J2EE.
And in his second talk, he will describe the plenty of pitfalls awaiting designers and developers using web services and explain how to avoid these and succeed with web services.
(Monday 15:15 -16:00, Private Room)
