Presentation

SOA/TOGAF™ Workshop

This workshop, led by The Open Group Forum Director for SOA, Chris Harding, will explore the development and deployment of enterprise service-oriented architectures, based on ideas developed by the SOA Working Group, and building on the results of similar workshops at previous conferences.

The Glasgow conference in April introduced a practical example, and used it to explore the use of TOGAF, starting with Phases A and B. (See the Output presentation from Glasgow.)

The Chicago conference in July continued to explore the example, concentrating on Phases B and C. (See the notes produced following Chicago.)

The workshop in Munich will develop the example further, focusing on Phases C and D.

The workshop will be preceded by a brief introduction to the SOA Working Group and its projects.
