User Interfaces & SOA Speaker: Torsten Winterberg, OPITZ Consulting GmbH and Berthold Maier, Oracle Day 1: SOA Architecture & Design Does SOA relate to user interfaces? Can services be part of the presentation layer? Can service-orientation be applied to human-service interaction? The answer to all of these questions is, in fact, "yes", but only if we understand the unique requirements of designing and using services with the human end-user in mind. The truth is that from an architectural point of view the overall topic of SOA and user interaction is very much underrepresented in general SOA literature and technical discussions. This session begins by revisiting existing work that has been done in this area, namely UI-Services, Worklists, BPEL4People, Embedded Taskflows, and the controlling of existing applications. We then introduce solution concepts, starting with trivial, workflow-driven TODO-Lists and finishing with complete, service-oriented and process-oriented architectures. As part of the solution examples provided is a design based on the use of the UI Mediator pattern. October 5, 2010 - 15:30 Room: 001

ESB - Concepts in Comparison Speaker: Torsten Winterberg, OPITZ Consulting GmbH and Bernd Trops, Sopera GmbH Day 2: SOA & BPM It looks like that every one means that it is necessary to use an ESB. But there is a big confusion regarding the real benefits especially because there are different approaches for these ESBs available. We will specify usage scenarios for ESBs and discuss the business benefits. We also compare different suites like Oracle SOA Suite, SOPERA ASF and JBoss and talk about alternatives like building your own suite using open source components like ActiveMQ, Camel and ServiceMix.
