The Object Management Group(TM) (OMG(TM)) today announced its upcoming, first-ever Model Driven Architecture(R) (MDA(R)), Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web Services (WS) Workshop taking place in Orlando, FLA, March 21-24, 2005. The OMG MDA, SOA and Web Services Workshop: Delivering the Integrated Enterprise - Practice, not Promise is co-sponsored by Mathet Consulting, Inc. and SOSY, Inc. Media and analyst sponsors include Application Development Trends, Software Development magazine and Zapthink.
This new workshop will explore how Web Services, Service-Oriented Architecture, and MDA, enable architects and designers to visualize, build, and integrate a suite of applications that keep a business running. The four-day workshop will examine both the architectural and technical foundations of these IT enablers, showing how they combine synergistically to enable distributed computing on the scale required by today's Internet-connected enterprise. Workshop tutorials will cover the basics of service-oriented architecture - WSDL, SOAP, UML(R) 2.0, the MDA, and enterprise architecture - setting the stage for presentations by leading modelers, architects, and tool builders on the state-of-the-art: recent developments in tools and techniques, and real-world implementations of MDA-based, service-oriented distributed applications.
