Time to go to Berlin! – 3rd International SOA Symposium
In 2008 Thomas Erl organized the first international SOA symposium. So what’s so special about this symposium? Didn’t we already have enough events on this topic? Maybe we did. But usually at these types of events we see a lot of commercial talks, e.g. “SOA is great! And now please purchase (Websphere/Oracle/BizTalk)*!”. At the SOA symposium the real experts like Thomas Erl, Anne Thomas Manes, David Chappell tell their stories. Sure some of the speakers work for vendor organizations, but who do you prefer to hear, some presales guy from Oracle or David Chappell himself?
After two successful events in the Netherlands, it’s now time to go to Berlin in Germany. Though it requires some more traveling for us Dutchies, I see a lot of Dutch speakers and sponsors on the website. I’m very happy that I again have the privilege to give a presentation myself on the symposium. My talk is titled “A Multi-Domain Modularization Approach for Achieving More Organizational Agility”. It is about some preliminary results of my PhD research. Have a look at the abstract of the talk: http://soasymposium.com/agenda2010.php#a_multi.
To the readers of my blog and the business contacts of ICRIS I can offer a discount to this event. Let me know if you’re interested! Oh, and that’s not all. From this list of people who get a discount of ICRIS, we’ll randomly select three people who win one of these books “SOA Design Patterns”, “Enterprise Ontology – Theory and Methodology”, “Rode tuinkabouters bestaan niet” (Dutch).
So have a look at www.soasymposium.com and let me know if you’re interested in participating!
