***Sky Captain and the Service Oriented Architecture Reference Model of
Tomorrow***
Presentation & Discussion, by Duane Nickull (06)
Abstract: (07)
This presentation is divided into two distinct parts, the latter
building of the first. Session one is designed to promote a discussion
around what Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) really is. Many people
are talking about SOA and most define it by relating it to a concrete
implementation such as web services. The session justifies a new
approach chartered by the OASIS SOA Reference Model Technical Committee
to define SOA abstract of any specific implementation. If SOA is
architecture, as the name implies, it must be definable as architecture
and distinct from other architectural models. A look at some of the
basic concepts and common elements of all SOA's and a preliminary
attempt to distill out those elements into a SOA reference model will
likely be a stimulating topic. Ontologist's point of view will be
appreciated. (08)
The second topic addresses the world of tomorrow. There is a lot of talk
about what SOA can enable and what ontological work may enable. The
second session invokes thoughts of a world where both concepts are
ubiquitous and looks at what is possible by adding in other concepts
such as Event - Causality programming, the Blackboard AI pattern over a
distributed SOA infrastructure and how mechanical intelligence could be
bestowed upon applications that someday may acquire true cognitive
capabilities. (09)
