Presentation: "10 Years After: Developments and Trends in the Patterns World"
Track:
Patterns - Past, Present, and Future
Time:
Monday 11:00 - 12:00
Location:
SAS Suecia
Abstract: Most newcomers think that patterns are limited to the topics that made a
big splash about 10 years ago. In fact many other patterns and pattern
languages are quietly put to work, helping practitioners solve problems
in a growing number of areas such as enterprise architectures, AOP,
middleware and grid computing, embedded systems, performance tuning, and
so on. In this session I tour some of the most interesting developments
and trends in the patterns world based on my experience with editing the
5th volume of the Pattern Languages of Programs book series. This
overview will give you insight into current patterns work, prepare you
for finding patterns for the problems that you're interested in, as well
as help you position in context patterns that you may consider authoring.

Presentation: "Demystifying Orchestration with Patterns"
Track:
Service Oriented Computing (SOA)
Time:
Monday 13:00 - 14:00
Location:
Conference Hall 2
Abstract: Although orchestration represents one of the key components of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA), few adopters of service orientation actually use it. In spite of available standards and tools, aggressive marketing has forced many users to jump on the bandwagon ill-prepared. In this session I give an overview of an orchestration pattern language that aims at helping practitioners embrace the state of the art. These patterns will prepare people to evaluate orchestration tools as well as to regard SOA as more than just an alternative to Enterprise Application Integration (EAI).
