Paul C. Brown
Dr. Paul C. Brown is a software and systems architect with a deep background in the design of distributed information systems. His early work focused on fault-tolerant real-time monitoring and safety systems. Subsequent work on distributed decision support systems evolved into a more general interest in the design of event-driven distributed systems using model-based design methodologies. His model-based tool architectures are the foundation of a diverse family of applications that design distributed control systems, process control interfaces, internal combustion engines, and NASA satellite missions. Extensive design work on enterprise-scale information systems led Dr. Brown to recognize that service-oriented architectures inherently structure both business processes and information systems. This led to the concept of Total Architecture: that business processes and information systems must be architected together. The Total Architecture approach has proved itself building numerous information systems for global enterprises and the Fortune-500. Dr. Brown has authored a pair of books on Total Architecture from Addison Wesley: 'Succeeding with SOA: Realizing Business Value through Total Architecture'; and 'Implementing SOA: Total Architecture in Practice'. Dr. Brown received his BS in Electrical Engineering from Union College, and his MS and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He is presently a Principal Software Architect at TIBCO Software Inc. Session Title: "Organizational and Management Issues Vital to SOA and BPM Success" |
