Nov. 9, 2007 09:00 AM

What kind of infrastructure should enterprises adopt for mashups? How can an enterprise mashup solution best consume data sources like WSDLs, databases, portals, REST, RSS/ATOM feeds, and legacy systems? How do we orchestrate and coordinate such disparate services inside a mashup? This session will ‘talk the talk’ about Enterprise Mashups, outlining a working model for mashups in the real-world context of the heterogeneous enterprise, introducing and demonstrating a visual mashup interface and flexible declarative mashup language to encapsulate and implement mashups in any enterprise.
Speaker Bios: Deepak Alur is VP of Engineering at JackBe Corporation. He is responsible for the design, architecture and development of JackBe's enterprise mashup products and has 18 years of industry experience in building highly scalable enterprise software systems. Prior to JackBe, Alur spent 10 years at Sun Microsystems in different roles, most recently as principal engineer at Enterprise Web Services practice, where he was instrumental in successfully leading and executing several large-scale mission-critical software projects for customers like eBay and RouteOne. Passionate about building high-quality enterprise systems using pattern-based approaches, Alur is highly experienced in object-oriented design, Java, J2EE, Web services and Service-Oriented Architecture. He is also a co-author of the well-known Java enterprise software best practices book, Core J2EE Patterns.
Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) have evolved over the past few years out of the original vision of loosely coupled web services replacing constrained, stovepiped applications throughout enterprise IT. Every major enterprise technology vendor today has developed its own SOA strategy, supported by innumerable mid-size companies and start-ups offering specific SOA aspects or entire solutions. This explosive growth in SOA technology is in response to a global demand--IDC estimates that spending on SOA services alone will grow from $8.6 billion to more than $33 billion by 2010.
