- 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?
Security of information is of paramount importance in a service oriented architecture. WS-Security (Web Services Security) was originally developed by IBM, Microsoft and VeriSign, the protocol is now officially called WSS and developed via a committee in Oasis-Open.
WS-Security is an application layer communications protocol providing a means for applying end-to-end security to Web Services by securing SOAP messages. The aim is to provide quality of protection through message integrity, message confidentiality, and single message authentication. It unifies currently available processes and technologies like PKI and Kerberos. On top of WS-Services, a suite of specifications are being designed to address various aspects of the Web service security model. These include a Web service endpoint policy (WS-Policy), a trust model (WS-Trust), a privacy model (WS-Privacy) , secure conversations (WS-SecureConversation), federated trust (WS-Federation), and authorization (WS-Authorization).
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.
