On September 24-25th I will be attending the International SOA, Cloud + Service Technology Symposium in London. This event is the world’s largest conference dedicated to the exploration of SOA, cloud computing and modern service technology. I’m also glad for the chance to finally see Thomas Erl, who is a major contributor in the fields of service-orientation and the world’s top-selling SOA author for over five years, in real person.
The conference takes place over 2 days and hosts more then 100+ sessions & expert panels. The complete agenda is divided in 13 different tracks which are shown in the image below.
My personal agenda, meaning the sessions I would like to visit, are shown below:
Day 1 (september 24th):
- track 4: Lightweight BPM and SOA
- track 3: Web Service Evolution
- track 4: Service Modeling & BPM Business Value Patterns
- track 05: Your Security Guy Knows Nothing (brilliant title, sets high expectations)
