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. Also covered will be benchmarks and optimizations for high-throughput WSO2 ESB proxy services, custom protocols with non-standard cryptography implementations, and backend OSGi modules. Close

Implementing the Open Service Federation Manager on WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus. Building the source and target registry-specific framework agents using the Spring Framework deployed on Apache Tomcat container along with the appropriate libraries of the WSO2 Governance Registry and the IBM WebSphere Service Registry and Repository. Using the emerging S-RAMP specification to implement the technology-neutral model for defining service meta-data and the relationships between service artifacts. Close	Users: The SOA Last Mile Nuwan Bandara,Senior Software Engineer and Product Manager, WSO2 The presentation layer in a distributed environment is often ignored due to its inherent complexities. Moreover, engineers often are limited to one or two technological platforms for implementing presentation logic or data visualization. Now, with the increasing demand for SOA governance, information presentation is gaining wider visibility and focus among the IT community. This session reviews the requirements for a presentation layer, including platform-independence and portability. Additionally, it will explore different presentation technologies, including JSR 168/286, SharePoint Web Parts, and simple HTML portlets, as well as the pros and cons of these technologies in meeting developers’ presentation layer needs.

9:00	Message and Event Processing in SOAAmila Suriyaarchchi & Charith WickramarachchiWSO2 Messaging, event processing, and complex event processing (CEP) play important roles within an SOA. Store and forward messaging is a key part of distributed computing implementations that require asynchronous communications. Meanwhile event processing enables enterprises to derive to new facts about the system, and CEP techniques are used to derive more events from the original events. This tutorial will review key concepts around these technologies, including: JMS-based messaging with publish-consume Eventing with publish-subscribe How to use the WS-Eventing API to subscribe and publish messages Handling SQS queues with SOAP-based clients and an Amazon sample client API Complex event processing (CEP) concepts and a demonstration of how to use CEP to process event streams A review of MessageStore and MessageProcessor features and how to implement messaging patterns using them Close	Advanced Concepts in WS-BPELWaruna Ranasinghe & Denis WeerasiriWSO2 BPEL is the de-facto standard for modeling executable Web services orchestrations. The XML-based language is used for the definition and execution of business processes, as well as scientific workflows using Web services. WSO2 Business Process Server (WSO2 BPS) and Apache Orchestration Director Engine (ODE) are two WS-BPEL-compliant business process executable workflow engines that support the composition of Web services by orchestrating service interactions. This tutorial will explore advanced concepts in WS-BPEL 2.0 and extensibility in WSO2 BPS, including: Fault handling Compensation handling Selective, multiple, and concurrent event processing Message correlation Parallel processing An introduction to ODE extensions Future improvements with the extensions Close	Introduction to WSO2 ESB for DevelopersHiranya Jayathilake & Udayanga WickramasingheWSO2 WSO2 ESB is a lightweight and easy-to-use open source enterprise service bus (ESB) available under the Apache Software License v2.0.
