The
ever-increasing movement towards implementing complex SOA-based applications
has triggered a direct attention of leading industry researchers and
practitioners to the subject of layering in such applications, in general, and the
relationship between the fields of database engineering and SOA, in particular.
Common notion of interoperability, loose-coupling between consumers and
providers, and complexity-hiding, and demands for enabling extensive reuse of
application services to address unforeseen business requirements for new user
types, for new types of information and for new composite views has brought to
the forefront the concept of Data Services Layer (DSL) as a distinct
architectural layer. DSL is an essential part of an application architecture
that combines data access functions and corresponding database structures and
promises ensuring the next harvest for SOA ROI. 
This presentation thoroughly examines the concept of DSL from an architectural
and development perspective to reveal significant principles, context, and
interrelationships that, in turn, allows focusing on patterns, best practices,
design strategies, and proven solutions using the key technologies including
semantic models of XML data, XQuery, and popularized SOA-driven commercial and
open source database implementations that moved aggressively toward explicit
support of SOA, for example, Microsoft SQL Server 2005, IBM DB2 Viper, XAware
Open Source 5, and Apache Tuscany.

Bio:
Mark M. Davydov is an internationally recognized expert on software
architecture, and software evolution and reuse. Dr. Davydov is the author of
over 100 highly acclaimed articles in industry leading publications and vendor
technical forums such as IBM developerWorks and Oracle Technical Network. His
2001 book "Corporate Portals and e-Business Integration - A Manager's
Guide", introduced many ideas that influenced the progression of
Service-Oriented Architecture and the Web Services model. He is a frequent
presenter and panel participant at international conferences on software
architecture and service-oriented computing, e.g., ICSOC04, WICSA 2004,
FinanceCom05, ECIS 2005, WEBIST 2006, etc.
Before his current role as Director of Systems Development at CareFirst Blue
Cross Blue Shield and technology advisor to several industry consortiums such
as Connected Health and HL7, Dr. Davydov was Vice President and Senior
Solutions Architect at Bank of America, where he was responsible for
implementing SOA within E-Commerce and Online Banking domains. Prior to joining
Bank of America, Dr. Davydov was Chief Architect of Galileo International, and
was responsible for developing the Galileo’s platform for interoperable
information systems and web portals hosting, a large-scale, high performance,
model-driven, service-oriented architecture called “BEST”. Prior to Galileo
International, he also held a variety of management positions in both
architecture and software development at Fortune 500 corporations. Earlier in
his career, Dr. Davydov has taught courses on component-based software
engineering and generative programming, and has trained thousands of developers
and information technology managers at organizations such as Royal Bank of Canada, Mastercard, and Southwestern
Bell. Dr. Davydov did his graduate work in Applied Informatics at
the State Academy of Chemical Engineering, and received post-doctoral training
in Computer Science at the Karpov Scientific and Research Institute of Physical
Chemistry, both in Moscow, Russia.
DataServices World at SOAWorld 2008 (June 24,
2008)
DataServices World (June 24, 2008) is about the confluence of
databases, data warehousing, business intelligence, enterprise computing and
Internet computing. Its focus is architectures and technologies for accessing
data from heterogenous data sources and providing that data to consumers such as
components, services and applications.
At DataServices World, chaired by Ken North, we'll uncover
architecture and technology solutions for accessing, integrating and processing
data from multiple sources while guaranteeing security and scalability. These
solutions include robust, high-performance data access middleware, optimized
databases, efficient protocol handling, tuned queries and state of the art data
services. We'll be looking at technology of interest to CTOs, enterprise
architects, system architects, information architects, developers, database
gurus, consultants and analysts. Register

SOAWorld Conference & Expo 2008
East
June 23-24, 2008 at the Roosevelt Hotel in New York City
SOA
World Conference & Expo 2008 East brings together the best minds in
the business for a two-day conference that offers comprehensive coverage of SOA
and what it means to enterprise IT today.
Service-oriented
architectures have evolved over the past few years out of the original vision
of loosely coupled Web services replacing constrained, stovepiped applications
throughout enterprise IT. Every major enterprise technology vendor today has
developed its own SOA strategy, supported by innumerable mid-size companies and
start-ups offering specific SOA aspects or entire solutions.
Service-oriented
architectures (SOAs) have evolved over the past few years out of the original
vision of loosely coupled web services replacing constrained, stovepiped
applications throughout enterprise IT. Every major enterprise technology vendor
today has developed its own SOA strategy, supported by innumerable mid-size
companies and start-ups offering specific SOA aspects or entire solutions. This
explosive growth in SOA technology is in response to a global demand--IDC
estimates that spending on SOA services alone will grow from $8.6 billion to
more than $33 billion by 2010.
