14:00	ESB: The Swiss Army Knife of SOA Hiranya Jayathilake,Associate Technical Lead, WSO2 Increasingly businesses rely on their enterprise software applications to share data, configurations, and other organizational resources. But connecting these diverse applications—with their different programming languages, platforms, data formats, protocols, and QoS requirements—is an architect's worst nightmare. The enterprise service bus provides a simple and uniform platform for connecting heterogeneous applications, and it acts as the backbone of SOA integration while routing, filtering, transforming, mixing and matching traffic flows from various sources. An effective ESB also supports a range of communication protocols, message formats and QoS standards. This presentation discusses the basic concepts and common challenges associated with enterprise integration. It will introduce the ESB pattern for solving enterprise integration problems and basic features and services offered by an ESB. Finally it will look at a series of integration problems and how to solve them using an ESB, taking WSO2 ESB as an example. Close	BSS Platform-as-a-Service for Communications: Utilizing WSO2 Middleware Ken Anderson,CTO, Datatel Solutions Completely automated business support systems (BSS), or “quote-to-cash” processes, are a challenge for any professional organization. Until recently, only large telecommunications companies could afford the customization necessary to build such systems. A leading association for global telecommunications providers, TeleManagement Forum (TM Forum), has made great advancements toward providing detailed and standardized frameworks based on a well-defined SOA. However, there is not yet a subscription-based, pre-integrated BSS solution that fulfills TM Forum's vision for the industry. This session explores how WSO2 technology is an ideal solution as a core set of components for successfully building out a TM Forum standards-compliant system as an optimized BSS to enable channel sales. It also looks at how offering a BSS on a subscription basis will reduce costs, improve efficiencies, allow scalability, and level the playing field for SMB and enterprise providers alike. Close
14:45	Data in your SOA: From SQL to NoSQL and Beyond Sumedha Rubasighe,Architect and Senior Manager, WSO2 The applications in an SOA handle different types of data, each with its own access patterns, structure, lifecycle, archival needs, and other attributes and behaviors. As a result, choosing the right storage mechanism can significantly affect the ultimate performance and success of an application. Notably, relational databases have been the traditional choice of storage for enterprise applications because they are widely established and therefore are supported by a large community of professionals with the necessary skill set. However, cloud computing and Internet-based applications—with their elastic and scalable resources and exponentially growing numbers of users—have been pushed to find more efficient and scalable architectures. These demands are the shot of adrenaline behind the NoSQL (Not Only SQL) database movement. This session explores the choices available when selecting a data storage engine, the trade offs, factors to consider when making a choice, and examples of different use cases. Close	WSO2 at Connected Car Andreas Wichmann, Ph. D,Systems Architect, T-Systems T-Systems is currently developing an integrated platform, the “Connected Car Platform,” for service providers who target mobile and onboard devices in vehicles. This requires a solution that can manage millions of remote devices on one side, and many different internal and external backend services on the other. This session provides an overview of the project using an implementation of the WSO2 Mobile Service Gateway platform and WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus. It will include an overview of the project requirements and the technical and strategic reasons for selecting WSO2.
