Architecting SOA
Dr. Chris Harding, Forum Director for SOA and Semantic Interoperability, The Open Group
With the economic turbulence hitting the markets and the economy as a whole, it becomes increasingly important to devise strategies and tactics that allow us to decrease costs, harmonize and streamline efforts, ensure that redundant efforts are identified and minimized, and core capabilities that have greatest promise are focused upon within the enterprise architecture, application and technical architecture for the enterprise and the ecosystem it functions within.
The notion of a Smart SOA, is one of maximizing alignment of business directions, often volatile, with the undelrying technology that supports it. The need for a combination of assets that help pave the way to a smarter way of conducting the business and IT alliance is needed. Thus in this talk we will be focusing on SOMA , an end to end method for builidng e nterprise scale solutions based on principles of service-orientation for building strong and smart SOA solutions, reference architecture, maturity model and agile transformation adaptation.

Integrating process analysis and service architecture
Eric Roovers, Manager Architecture, IDS Scheer
Even though most architecture frameworks, including TOGAF™ and ArchiMate®, suggest to use process and function analysis to derive a service architecture, no clear guidance is provided on how to accomplish this. No comprehensive methodology exists. Eric will present a process analysis and service derivation approach that creates clean and clear-cut process designs and a solid basis for service architecting.
Audience:
Business architects, service architects, enterprise architects, process analysts
Key takeaways
- Functional decomposition is not an analysis method
- Business interactions provide key boundaries for service definition
- Method follows intent
Eric Roovers, Manager Architecture, IDS Scheer
 Eric has long standing experience in architecture and related areas and especially in building better change processes. Since 2006 Eric is responsible for developing IDS Scheer's architecture solutions in The Netherlands. In that role he supervised the development of ARIS ArchiMate Modeler.
