- 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?
Architecture
A Service Oriented Architecture provides patterns for design, development, deployment and management of a loosely coupled business application infrastructure>. In this framework, business functionality is published, discovered, and consumed as part of a business ecosystem of network-aware and reusable technical and business services.
In computing, the term Service-oriented architecture (SOA) expresses a software architectural concept that defines the use of services to support the requirements of software users. In an SOA environment, nodes on a network make resources available to other participants in the network as independent services that the participants access in a standardised way. A service-oriented architecture is not tied to a specific technology. It may be implemented using a wide range of technologies, including REST, RPC, DCOM, CORBA or Web Services.
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.
