- Aayaam concluded sucessfully.
We acknowledge the efforts of all those who have made this event a big success.
The NextGen Web is here, are you prepared?
Resource sharing and
Load balancing
The services abstraction, at the heart of SOA, comes at a price. Loose coupling, composability, agility, and the other benefits of SOA all introduce performance overhead. In SOA environments with the highest performance requirements, maintaining the services abstraction in the face of high traffic is a paramount concern.
The SOA performance problem falls into two broad areas: ensuring sufficient performance of atomic services as well as of composite services. Atomic services provide service interfaces that abstract existing systems, so ensuring their performance necessitates managing the performance of the components, applications, and systems that lie beneath the services abstraction. While SOA relies upon services, there is far more to properly architecting SOA than simply building a bunch of services. Architects must consider the consumption of those services as well, including the dynamic, business-driven composition of services into Service-Oriented Business Applications (SOBAs).
SOA performance problems can be tackled using a combination of the following approaches like Service and infrastructure virtualization, combining judicious loose coupling with strategic tight coupling, registry-based dynamic routing for load balancing. More information here
Towards the Next Generation Web, CSE, IITB brings forth Aayaam, a technical symposium on SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) and Semantic Web. The Web as we have known it has been undergoing tremendous ferment over the last few years. The lack of a functional view of the web has spawned web services and the lack of meaning lead to the emergence of the Semantic Web.
The evolution of these technologies allow sharing of computational power and has enabled development of modular, integrated, complex but user friendly web. We bring together experts across the country from industry and academia working in the field of SOA and semantic web to provide an integrated view of their experiences and research.
Aayaam-07
Aayaam is the 8th in the series of workshops held at Computer Science & Engineering Department, IITB. Aayaam this year examines the evolution of Next Generation Web. Since 1999, CSE has been orgainizing this workshop as SecNet, a leading event for professionals in the software industry and academia focussing on Network Security. Previous workshops have had participants from IBM, Microsoft, Indian Navy, National Stock Exchange(NSE), TCS, Patni Computers, VSSC(Vikram Sarabhai Space Center), RedHat India, and various academic institutions across the country.
Focus areas
- Service Oriented Architecture(SOA)
- Web-service standards and Protocols
- Semantic Web and Ontologies(OWL)
- Performance, Resource sharing and load balancing
- Technologies: Web 2.0, SAAS, Mash-Ups
- Protocols: SOAP REST
- Convergence of SOA and Sementic Web
- Security issues in SOA
Who should attend?
The workshop primarily targets Software professionals from the software industry and consultancy services. This workshop would be of great benefit to IT managers, web-developers and researchers working in the field of SOA, webservices and Web 2.0 We aim to bring together experts from Industry and Academia and provide a common forum for professionals, reserachers and students to interact and exchange ideas. Preliminary knowledge in XML and Javascript would be assumed.
