OMG Announces Co-Sponsors for SOA, MDA and Web
Services Workshop:
Integrating the Enterprise and Beyond
March 27-30, 2006 - Fairfax, VA, USA
Needham, MA, USA - February 10, 2006 - The Object Management Group™
(OMG™), today announced that Everware-CBDI (www.everware.com)
and M1 Global (www.m1global.org) are
co-sponsoring its Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), Model Driven
Architecture® (MDA®) and Web Services Workshop: Integrating the
Enterprise and Beyond. Media sponsors are Application Development
Trends and Web Services Journal. The workshop will take place
March 27-30, 2006 in Fairfax, VA, USA.
Today's state-of-the-art infrastructure couples Web Services (WS)
loosely into a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), designed and built
with the assistance of OMG's Model Driven Architecture (MDA), since
model-driven development is a necessity for these large and complex
systems. During the workshop, tutorials and technical talks will cover the
state of the art in design, implementation, and execution of WS/SOA
systems that cover the enterprise and extend out through the firewall.
During the workshop, Everware-CBDI Chief Architect John C. Butler will
give a technical plenary presentation entitled "An SOA Roadmap: SOA
adoption impacts the entire enterprise IT ecosystem." The
presentation will introduce a practical approach to managing this change
covering architecture, infrastructure, process, organization and projects
with a mapping to the OMG specifications.
Also presenting will be David Zygmont, Chief Technology Officer, M1
Global Solutions, Inc. on "How to Bring UML, BPMN and MDA Together in
an SOA." The presentation will discuss ways to bring UML®, BPMN™,
MDA and SOA together to improve collaboration, compliance, productivity
and business processes-CIOs' top concerns of 2006.
Industry experts will describe best practices at every stage of the
application lifecycle - from modeling for requirements gathering and
design, through WS and SOA for implementation and deployment, to the
latest work in security and semantic interoperability. Case studies by
early adopters, presentations by tool developers, and demonstrations will
combine to show how SOA, WS, and MDA combine to build an interoperability
environment that extends business automation beyond the firewall to
encompass the enterprise's customers and suppliers.
The early-bird registration discount is available until February 27,
2006. To register, visit http://www.omg.org/soa-mda-r.
The OMG invites anyone interested in SOA, Web Services and MDA, and
