The Role of an ESB within an SOA The workshop is designed for IT architects and developers seeking to obtain a high-level architectural understanding of how ESBs fit within an SOA. It will explore how enterprises can connect, mediate, orchestrate and manage interactions between application integration consumers and providers using the WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus in conjunction with other components of the WSO2 Carbon enterprise middleware platform. Workshop session topics will include:

• An overview of ESB architecture, the role of an ESB within an SOA, and the benefits of loosely coupled application architectures.
• Understanding core ESB capabilities, including mediation, transformation, routing, messaging, queuing and eventing.
• How to connect to services and APIs using lightweight JSON/XML, HTTP APIs, and adapters for the Health Level 7 (HL7) interface, Financial Information eXchange (FIX) protocol, SAP, Salesforce.com, and PayPal.
• The role of an ESB in process orchestration, security, governance, complex event processing (CEP), and business activity monitoring (BAM).
