The 2nd annual SOA Symposium brings together lessons learned and emerging topics from both government and industry SOA projects, practitioners and experts. The theme of this year's SOA Symposium is "Discipline, Teamwork & Semantic Technologies" to make SOA a successful reality.
The conference will host more than 30 presenters from federal agencies, industry and academia that cover the SOA lifecycle, technical issues, governance and policy aspects, as well as emerging innovations and issues of semantic integration and collaborative service-oriented solutions. The SOA Symposium is a premier conference services offering a forum for practitioners, analysts, and industry representatives to present and discuss experiences and trends. This conference sessions are directed at both business and technical architects, analysts, decision makers and IT practitioners.
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has embarked on a path to implement SOA as a primary means to deliver increased capability to the warfighter by improving the efficiency and effectiveness of business operations. Industry around the world has demonstrated that SOA can substantially reduce the cost of IT infrastructure while greatly improving business agility. Both the IT and the business communities must jointly own and manage a proven inclusive architecture to achieve SOA success. Teamwork and discipline are essential to the success of SOA. To be successful, SOA must be considered a team sport that involves all elements of people, process, technology, and especially trust.
In 2009, the DoD SOA Symposium demonstrated that SOA must be considered a Team Sport, involving all elements of people, process, technology, and especially Trust. This 2nd An-nual DoD SOA Symposium is focused on the Discipline necessary within each individual team member and the team as a whole to be successful. It will provide government and industry professionals with the experiences of individual and team's successes that are a result of best practice strategies for business intelligence, program management, information access, Discipline, and much more. Network with more than 500 Service Oriented Architecture leaders from across the U.S. Government and Industry.
The SOA Symposium will be held on April 21 and 22, 2010, at the Sheraton Crystal City in Arlington, VA, USA. This venue is in close proximity of Washington's Reagan National Airport and the WMATA subway system.
"Industry around the world has demonstrated that SOA can substantially reduce the cost of IT infrastructure while greatly improving business agility. The road to SOA must be traveled with a proven inclusive architecture that is jointly owned and managed by both the IT and the business communities in any organization. To be successful, SOA must be considered to be a team sport that involves all elements of people, process, technology and especially trust."
- Dennis Wisnosky, CTO, BMA, US Department of Defense
The 2nd Annual SOA Symposium will highlight a "best of show" case study that excels in the theme of the conference - discipline and teamwork. Nominations are being sought for SOA projects that can highlight the role of collaboration and technical excellence in providing SOA-based solutions with significant business or mission value.

Cal Ripken, Jr., Baseball Hall of Famer, embodies the concept of individual discipline to achieve team success. Although he holds many records in professional baseball, it is his breaking of Lou Gehrig's record of 2,130 consecutive games played that especially endears the "Iron Man" of baseball to his admirers.

Book Signing Event
Many of the speakers at the SOA Symposium are published authors. This event will pay special tribute to the upcoming book "Modern SOA Infrastructure: Technology, Design, and Governance". Several of the authors of this book will be speaking at the event on topics that relate to their contributions, which include new SOA design patterns that have been developed in relation to modern SOA infrastructure advances. To preview these patterns or to participate in the on-going development of the catalog, visit the community site at: www.soapatterns.org
The aim of this book is to explore modern infrastructure technologies and practices for mainstream service-oriented architectures and solutions. This book provides in-depth coverage of contemporary infrastructure technology components and further provides new design patterns that extend and build upon previously documented SOA design patterns. As part of the new content provided by this book is the definition of the Modern ESB pattern to represent how the enterprise service bus has evolved and grown. As a further supplement, this title introduces primitive reference architectures that, along with the patterns, are referenced by subsequent chapters that explore individual infrastructure technologies and practices.
Several new books are being released as part of the Prentice Hall Service-Oriented Computing Series from Thomas Erl. Authors from all of these new releases will be speaking at the 2nd Annual SOA Symposium. Prentice Hall will also be making advance galleys available in conjunction with book signing events.
"SOA with REST" is a new title that fulfills a critical need within the IT industry by documenting the convergence of REST and SOA and establishing how RESTful services can be realized in support of service-orientation.
"SOA with .NET & Azure" is a comprehensive tutorial that explains and demonstrates how to build and implement service-oriented solutions by combining established SOA principles, patterns, and practices with modern .NET and Azure services technology.
"SOA with Java" is a detailed technical reference guide that delves into how to build and implement service-oriented solutions by combining established SOA principles, patterns, and practices with modern Java services technology.
For more information about these titles, visit: www.soabooks.com
The books mentioned above are part of de facto library of titles dedicated to SOA, service-orientation, cloud computing and service-oriented computing in general. This book series is also home to the acclaimed titles "SOA Design Patterns" and "SOA Principles of Service Design." These books established SOA design patterns and service-orientation design principles that were adopted by the U.S. Department of Defense as part of the Business Operating Environment (BOE) strategy.
