Business Technology Summit 2010 – India's First, Largest and Single-most Inspirational Technology Show

Bangalore, Karnataka -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/26/2010 -- Max Dolgicer has more than 25 years of management and technical experience in development and support of Business applications, software products and systems internals. An internationally recognized expert, Max is Technical Director and principal at International System Group, (ISG) Inc a leading consulting firm that specializes in design, development and integration of large-scale distributed applications using leading edge Middleware technologies. Max is coming to Business Technology Sumit 2010 (www.btsummit.com) to speak about all things SOA, on 12 November at the NIHANS Convention Center in Bangalore. At the summit, Max covers the following sessions:

* Managing the SOA Evolution: once a company has completed initial SOA projects, the number of deployed services increases such that the key question no longer is how to build services, but rather how to efficiently govern the development and operation of services on an enterprise scale. The focus of SOA shifts to reusability, securing how a growing number of clients access the services, and assuring that Service Level Agreements (SLAs) are met, to name just a few issues. At this point companies run the danger that a "free for all" environment proliferates, and the benefits of SOA cannot be realized. The key is to introduce SOA governance before services spin out of control. Managing the evolution of SOA into the cloud with the correct governance is the next challenge. This keynote will address: typical categories of SOA projects, how SOA Maturity Models and governance relate, and how SOA governance needs to be extended when we move applications into the cloud

* A ROI Calculator for SOA: let the Numbers Do the Talking: there are many pro and very few con arguments from an engineering perspective that make us believe that SOA is a superior approach for most application development and integration projects. However, nowadays we typically won't get away with brilliant technical arguments to justify the transition to SOA. In most cases we will have to convince the CFO that there is a positive bottom line result. This presentation outlines a ROI model for application development based on service reusability in a SOA. It describes how the cost effect of reuse can be calculated during the development and the maintenance cycle of a portfolio of service oriented business applications. The model is based on metrics that have been widely accepted throughout the IT industry. The model will then be illustrated by a project where multiple business applications have been developed within a SOA that employs a foundation of reusable services. This presentation will show an overview of a project that is used as an example, a popular ROI model that is the basis for the ROI calculation, and the application of the model to determine concrete monetary savings.

* Defining a SOA Roadmap Based on SOA Maturity Model: once a company has completed initial SOA projects, the number of deployed services increases and the key question no longer is how to build services, but rather how to efficiently manage the development and operation of services on an enterprise scale. What is needed is a concise roadmap that guides the evolution of SOA such that IT can deliver the right value at the right time to the business. This roadmap has to address multiple dimensions of IT: architecture, development processes, applications, information, etc. This presentation will outline a model against which the degree of service oriented maturity of an organization can be assessed, and a process (i.e. the roadmap) for assessing the current and desired degree of service maturity of an organization and for developing a plan for how to get to the target state. This presentation will show: what SOA Maturity Models exist today?, walkthrough of the levels and key elements of each level, developing a custom SOA Roadmap and project example for mapping a Maturity Model to a Roadmap.

* Service Oriented Integration (SOI): doing Integration the Right Way: IT managers have been under increasing pressure to migrate a portfolio of independent "stovepipe" applications to an integrated set of business services that can be aligned with changing business requirements and support new business processes faster and with reduced cost. Today, corporations have to choose from a number of integration products (e.g. Enterprise Service Buses) that have quite different capabilities, never mind different architectures and standards. This seminar starts with a comparison of SOA and event based architectures and then outlines the key issues and guidelines that architects should consider when defining an integration architecture based on services. The key point of the seminar is a case study that illustrates how SOA concepts have been applied in a real project. It explains the key architectural and design decisions that produced an integration architecture and a set of services that were reused beyond one particular project. This presentation will show: drivers for Service Oriented Integration (SOI), comparing SOA to Event-Driven Architecture (EDA), how to evolve from Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) to SOA/EDA to SOI, and applying SOI in a project example.

Max is a contributing editor for Application Development Trends magazine and recognized instructor and presents extensively at major industry conferences including Gartner's Web Service and Application Integration conferences, Sys-Con's Web Services, XMLOne, XMLDevCon, JavaDevCon, e-Business Integration, Java Expo, Component Development, GIGA's Middleware Choices, and Comdex.

Business Technology Summit 2010 – India's First, Largest and Single-most Inspirational Technology Show

Bangalore, Karnataka -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/26/2010 -- The constant rush to new fads and fashions in the Information Technology industry have done little to improve overall software quality; and as computing moves to the cloud, apparently out of our control, quality becomes even more important. Satellite launches famously fail, medical devices famously overdose patients and engines still shut down in flight. Best practices and standards for managing, measuring and improving software implementation processes have had some success (most notably CMMI), but incorrect and incomplete coverage in the industry has left us in a mostly unchanged situation. At the same time, outsourcers and other software development teams have no standardized, widely-adopted way to agree software quality metrics with contractors and purchasers of software. Dr. Richard Soley, Chairman and CEO for OMG, is speaking at Business Technology Summit about a standard to lower costs and increase quality broadly in the software world, driven by static code analysis, software modeling and shared patterns and anti-patterns of good practice. Dr. Soley's keynote will give an overview of the process and schedule for developing the standard, and the expected uses of of the standard when complete.

Dr. Richard Soley is the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer for OMG. As Chairman and CEO, Dr. Soley is responsible for the vision and direction of the world's largest consortium of its type. Dr. Soley joined the nascent OMG as Technical Director in 1989, leading the development of OMG's world-leading standardization process and the original CORBA® specification. In 1996, he led the effort to move into vertical market standards (starting with healthcare, finance, telecommunications and manufacturing) and modeling, leading first to the Unified Modeling Language (UML®) and later the Model Driven Architecture (MDA®).

Previously, Dr. Soley was a cofounder and former Chairman/CEO of A. I. Architects, Inc., maker of the 386 HummingBoard and other PC and workstation hardware and software. Prior to that, he consulted for various technology companies and venture firms on matters pertaining to software investment opportunities. Dr. Soley has also consulted for IBM, Motorola, PictureTel, Texas Instruments, Gold Hill Computer and others. He began his professional life at Honeywell Computer Systems working on the Multics operating system. A native of Baltimore, Maryland, U.S.A., Dr. Soley holds the bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees in Computer Science and Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Business Technology Summit 2010 – India's First, Largest and Single-most Inspirational Technology Show

Bangalore, Karnataka -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/19/2010 -- Recognizing the importance of giving enterprises quality information at the point of use, Dr. Chris Harding sees information interoperability as the next major challenge. He leads the SOA Working Group at The Open Group - an open forum of customers and suppliers of IT products and services. In addition, he is a Director of UDEF Forum, and manages The Open Group's work on semantic interoperability. At Business Technology Summit 2010, to be held 11-12 November 2010 in Bangalore (http://www.btsummit.com), Dr. Harding will speak about Using Cloud in Your Enterprise Architecture, Managing Cloud Risks, SOA for Interoperability, and SOA Governance:

* Using Cloud in Your Enterprise Architecture (11 Nov): cloud computing presents enterprises with major opportunities, not only for cost savings but, more importantly, to improve their service delivery, and to enter new markets with innovative service offerings. But it is not possible to do this just by waving a magic wand. How cloud should be used needs careful consideration. Will it replace existing IT, and, if so, how will the enterprise manage the transition? Will it be added to and complement in-house IT and, if so, how should they be integrated? It is the business of enterprise architects to resolve such questions. The Open Group has produced the industry standard framework, TOGAF, which is used by many enterprise architects to guide their decisions. Participants will learn: the architectural considerations involved in using Cloud Computing within the enterprise, and the approaches that can be taken by enterprise architects to use Cloud effectively.

* Managing Cloud Risks (11 Nov): cloud Computing has significant benefits, but can also carry significant risks. Many enterprises, for example, are concerned about risks associated with security, data protection, and cost control. If they are to use cloud computing, they need to understand these risks, and understand how to manage them. This presentation will describe an approach, based on scorecards, to identifying, monitoring, and managing the main risks associated with cloud computing. Attendees will learn: what the main risks are, how to monitor them, and how to mitigate their effects.

* SOA for Interoperability: integrating applications - and now Cloud services - is a major challenge for enterprise architects. Each of these components is designed to deliver a particular set of functionality, and probably does this very well. But different applications and services are designed separately and generally do not inter-operate with each other. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) has become established as an architectural style within which different components can inter-operate so that applications and external services can be integrated within an overall enterprise architecture. This presentation will describe the latest state-of-the-art of SOA, and explain how enterprise architects can use it to achieve interoperability, following best-practice methods developed by The Open Group based on the experience of its members. Participants will learn: how SOA delivers interoperability, a standard reference architecture for SOA, and how to use the Open Group's standard architecture framework TOGAF to develop a service-oriented enterprise architecture.

* SOA Governance: from the earliest days of SOA, it has been widely recognized that good governance is crucial for successful deployment. It has also been recognized that SOA governance is difficult. In the first place, this was partly just because SOA was new. Secondly, it is also because SOA requires a different way of working to traditional architectural styles, with different roles and responsibilities. Thirdly, and perhaps most significantly, enterprises using SOA learn as they go, and change the way they do things as they learn, which means that their governance must be adaptable and flexible. This presentation will describe the Open Group SOA Governance Framework. This is a standard governance framework developed by The Open Group using the experience of its member companies. It includes a standard SOA governance reference model, and a vitality method by which you can create a flexible and adaptive SOA governance regimen for your enterprise. Participants will learn: the importance of SOA governance, the Open Group SOA Governance Reference Model, and how to develop an enterprise SOA governance regimen using the SOA Governance Vitality Method.

Dr. Harding has a Ph.D in mathematical logic, and is a member of the British Computer Society (BCS) and of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

CSO at Zynga & Co-founder of Cloud Security Alliance, Nils Puhlmann, Speaks at Business Technology Summit 2010

Bangalore, Karnataka -- (SBWIRE) -- 10/12/2010 -- Companies and governments are adopting modern and highly dynamic technologies like cloud at a rapid pace. The speed of technology innovation seems to pick up.

What does this development mean to the world of security and privacy though? Is this just a new development that we will adjust to over time or a true disruption requiring new and innovative security thought leadership? We find ourselves increasingly on the defensive – cyber criminals who are getting more sophisticated and targeted by the week and new technology services utilizing the cloud being quickly introduced into companies without giving security teams a chance to prepare for it. Is this really a technological challenge or rather a new cultural shift? It seems as if every successful gadget or consumer service is utilizing the cloud these days. But at the same time consumers and corporate customers alike are having higher expectations when it comes to the integrity and confidentiality of their data. Consumer trust is more and more an essential ingredient of a successful online business model. Trust without security is short lived though. Nils Puhlmann, Co-founder of Cloud Security Alliance and CSA at Zynga, is keynoting at Business Technology Summit 2010 on these issues and will help attendees understand if it is time to realize that 'bolting' security onto existing technology no longer works in the cloud age and we need to innovate and develop new security technologies and mechanisms to keep up with technology innovation.

In a separate talk, Nils will provide an overview of where we are today and what areas of cloud security are actively being worked on in the industry. What are the specific risk and threat areas and how can they be mitigated? What other security efforts are underway in the industry to ensure that security is a key part of every cloud offering?

Nils Puhlmann is Co-Founder of Cloud Security Alliance, a community of over 4,000 security professionals and CSO at Zynga. As Chief Security Officer of Qualys, Puhlmann was responsible for security, risk management and business continuity planning for Qualys. Prior to Qualys, Puhlmann held positions as the Chief Information Security Officer for Electronic Arts, Chief Information Security Officer at Robert Half International, Director Global IT & Security and Chief Privacy Officer at Mindjet Corp, Senior Manager Product Security at Adobe Systems. Puhlmann also held senior positions at Nortel Networks and START Amadeus, and was an independent security consultant with clients such as the State of California.

No Contract Instructor Regurgitating Someone Else's Materials! Learn from the Expert!

Bangalore, Karnataka -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/01/2010 -- The best of India's Java and RIA programmers have learnt the subject from Marty's seminal books Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages (first and second editions), More Servlets and JavaServer Pages, and Core Web Programming (first and second editions) from Prentice Hall and Sun Microsystems Press. Now is the opportunity to meet him and learn from him first-hand. From 26-28 April in Bangalore, India, attend a practical, hands-on training on Ajax and RIAs personally developed and taught by leading Java EE and Ajax developer, speaker, and author Marty Hall

"Ajax" designates the set of techniques that enable Web applications to asynchronously update small portions of the pages based on server-side data. First popularized by Google, these techniques are now being widely applied in Web applications, and increase the performance, flexibility, richness, and interactivity of Web sites and Web-based applications. However, Ajax programming is complex and poorly understood. In the course, for client-side code, the class uses jQuery, the single-most widely used JavaScript library. For server-side code, the class uses Java. The class also covers foundational topics like JavaScript programming, core Ajax approaches, XML and JSON data handling, and Ajax development and debugging tools.

Marty has taught Ajax, GWT, and Java EE courses onsite for dozens of organizations in the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, Japan, Puerto Rico, India, and the Philippines, all to rave reviews. The course consists of an approximately equal mixture of lecture and hands-on lab time and assumes that all students have moderate-to-strong Java skills and at least a little bit of experience with Web apps in Java (servlets and/or JSP). The course does not assume any previous exposure to Ajax, nor does it presume JavaScript knowledge.

Great Indian Developer Summit 2010 – Gold Standard for India's Software Developer Ecosystem

Bangalore, Karnataka -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/29/2010 -- The author of several books on application and database development including Programming SQL Server 2008 and certificed Scrum Master Stephen Forte is coming this summer to India's biggest summit for the developer ecosystem - Great Indian Developer Summit (http://www.developersummit.com/). At the summit, Stephen will conduct a workshop fuarenteed to give attendees a jump start in taking a certified scrum master exam. Scrum, one of the most popular Agile project management and development methods, which is starting to be adopted at major corporations and on very large projects. After an introduction to the basics of Scrum like project planning and estimation, the Scrum Master, team, product owner and burn down, and of course the daily Scrum, Stephen will show many real world applications of the methodology drawn from his own experience as a Scrum Master. Negotiating with the business, estimation and team dynamics are all discussed as well as how to use Scrum in small organizations, large enterprise environments and consulting environments. Stephen will also discuss using Scrum with virtual teams and an off-shoring environment. He will then take a look at the tools we will use for Agile development, including planning poker, unit testing, and much more.

On 20th April at the GIDS.NET Conference, Stephen will also conduct a series of sessions on Microsoft computing technologies. He will teach how to build data driven, n-tier Rich Internet Applications (RIA) with Silverlight 4.0. Line of business applications (LOB) in Silverlight 4.0 are easy by tapping the power of WCF RIA Services, the Silverlight Toolkit, and elevated out of browser support. Stephen's demo centric session will walk you through an example of building a LOB application with Silverlight 4.0. See how Silverlight and WCF RIA Services support domain logic, services, data binding, validation, server based paging, authentication, authorization and much more. Silverlight 4.0 means business.

Silverlight runs C# and Visual Basic code, and so it seems natural that a business application might share some code between the Silverlight client and its ASP.NET Web server. You may want to run some code client-side for interactivity, but re-run that code on the server for security or reliability. This is possible, and there are several techniques you can use to accomplish this goal. In Stephen's second talk learn about the various techniques and their pros and cons. Some techniques work better in C#, others in VB. Still others are simpler with a little extra tooling or code-generation. Any serious Silverlight business application will almost certainly face this issue, and this session gets you going fast.

In the third talk, Stephen will explain how to properly architect and deploy a BI application using a mix of some exciting new tools and some old familiar ones. He will start with a traditional relational transaction centric database (OLTP) and explore ways to build a data warehouse (OLAP), looking at the star and snowflake schemas. Next he will look at the process of extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) your OLTP data into your data warehouse. Different techniques for ETL will be described and the various tradeoffs will be discussed. Then he will look at using the warehouse for reporting, drill down, and data analysis in Microsoft Excel's PowerPivot 2010. The session will round off by showing how to properly build a cube and build a data analysis application on top of that cube, and conclude by looking at some tools to help with the data visualization process.

Every year, GIDS is a game changer for several thousands of IT professionals, providing them with a competitive edge over their peers, enlightening them with bleeding-edge information most useful in their daily jobs, helping them network with world-class experts and visionaries, and providing them with a much needed thrust in their careers.

GIDS is India's Biggest Polyglot Conference for Software Developer Professionals

Bangalore, Karnataka -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/25/2010 -- Every year, Great Indian Developer Summit is a game changer for several thousands of IT professionals, providing them with a competitive edge over their peers, enlightening them with bleeding-edge information most useful in their daily jobs, helping them network with world-class experts and visionaries, and providing them with a much needed thrust in their careers. At GIDS 2010, to be held 20-23 April in Bangalore, Vice Presidents of Goldman Sachs' technology division speaks about acceptance test driven development and collections renaissance.

Acceptance test driven development can work really well. Users give their requirements as inputs and a table of results, and you can show them directly that they are done. John Tobin and Mohammed Mohsinali of Goldman Sachs say FitNesse, an open-source framework from ObjectMentor, is a great tool for this. Users can put their expected results in a wiki, press the page test button and see results. At GIDS, on the 22nd of April, John and Mohammed will conduct an example-driven session on FitNesse and how it can be used in large, business-critical applications.

In another session, Vlad Zakharov and Donald Raab will dwell on Java collection frameworks, why is there a sudden emergence of frameworks and what should you look for in a collections framework. They will explain the historical perspective – from the pre-Java days through the dark ages of early Java to today's collections renaissance. How the "minimal interface" philosophy of the Java API has lead to some unfortunate decisions. Why modern languages all have closures, and how the "humane interface" is fighting back. You will see examples of the power and simplicity you can bring to your code, and find out how to design collections classes. After this session, you will never look at a for loop in the same way again.

With several decades of software development experience between them, the speakers are a powerhouse of knowledge on software development and the ICT industry. John Tobin has extensive Java enterprise development experience with companies ranging from start-ups through product companies to large global corporations. A Vice President at Goldman Sachs Technology Division, he is particularly interested in reducing development time and production issues by building the partnership with users. Mohammed has several years of experience in developing enterprise oriented software. Mohammed is a VP at Goldman Sachs Technology Division and is focused on developing framework components to enable users to complete their tasks in an efficient and effective manner.

Vlad Zakharov, a VP at Goldman Sachs' Technology Division, has programmed in Java, Smalltalk and a number of other more obscure languages. His areas of expertise include application architecture, object-oriented analysis and design, and software development. Donald Raab has 20 years of experience in technology and software development and is a VP at Goldman Sachs' Technology Division. He has programmed in Java, Visual Basic, Smalltalk, and a number of other more obscure languages. His areas of expertise include application architecture, object-oriented analysis and design, Test Driven Development, and collections framework design and implementation.
