More on Composite Architecture

As i posted earlier that i will be presenting @ IASA Singapore's chapter evening. It turned out to be an interesting session and i got the chance to interact with the audience and hear their pain points on composite architecture and enterprise mashups.

Enteprisewise initiatives, sharing data across services/apps and need for top quality tools came out as the most crucial elements to the success of composite architecture. I also heard some interesting remarks from the audience. One of the gentlement mentioned that there is nothing that composite arch/enterprise mashup offers that couldnt be done with traditional apps/services. I'd say lets look at this analogy:

"if you are travel from point x to y, you could either walk, run, ride a horse, drive, commute through train, or fly in a plane. Ofcourse it will depend on the distance b/w x and y. Among other things it will also depend on your mind set and approach. if you want to cover the distance in excess of hundreds of kilometers by riding a horse then God speed. Surely you will get there but the question is how much will it cost you in terms of time and effort"

I strongly believe in composite arhictecture and enterprise mashups. This truly leads to realization of potential promised by SOA.

Composite Architecture

I will be doing a presentation on Composite Architecture later today @ IASA Singapore's chapter evening.

This presentation will talk about how the
software architecture paradigm is shifting in response to agile enterprises. This talk will intend to de-mystify composite architecture and then in the end present available tools and technologies that can be used to build applications and services that are based on composite architecture.

If you are in or around Singapore on 17th of July 2008 then feel free to join us.
