Go to OOP 2008 for new sources of inspiration
One of the most important annual IT congresses in Germany OOP 2008 is up coming, taking place in Munich from 21th to 25th of January. SOA will be one of the main topics there, as it is over last 3 years. I'm just very curious, because of several sessions about SOA in regard to real SOA projects and the first fruits they have brought. For instance, a session with Bernd Semmerau and his colleges concerning implementation of an SOA solution at T-Mobile. Let's see what T-Mobile guys think of SOA. Is it hit or hype? Use cases like some company implemented a new web services solution is not very convincing to me. I expect from SOA much more than just a usage of new programming techniques.
The longer I have to do with it, the more I get convinced , that SOA main challenge is neither the infrastructure nor to get the techniques working. Much more challenging is that magic and fearsome word GOVERNANCE, that makes me shiver when I think of a wide adoption of SOA in a really big enterprise. It's more about organisation of processes, decision making about emerging services, to hold the development and maintenance process under control. It's just incredibly complex. I personally do not believe software vendors supporting SOA, which sometimes decrease the importance of it, promising that their products solve all possible and impossible problems. I think I'm not alone with my deliberations and maybe T-Mobile guys have the answers on these worrying questions.
Here is what I'm going to undertake during the congress (besides of having fun to meet the gurus):

Here is what I'm going to undertake during the congress (besides of having fun to meet the gurus):
- Model driven development for embedded systems with Eclipse
- SOA@T-Mobile
- Common Sense over Conservatism – is Ruby on Rails ready for the enterprise?
- MDSD und SOA und BPM – how does it match?
- Model driven product line engineering
- Spring or EJB 3.0 - two light weights in comparison
- REST: the architecture of the Web as a basis for SOA
- Case Study: The New Guardian.co.uk
- Spring Framework in the wold of Java 6 and Java EE 5
- What's next about Java? – Enhancements in Java 7.0
- Building and consuming RESTful JSON services with Apache CXF and Google Web Toolkit
- Better software due to AOP
- Java multi threading with multi core CPUs
