June Refresh
Date: June 13, 2007 @ 7:00PM
Location: Hawthorn Suites Conference Center [map]
Topic: Service Oriented Architecture: A Mashup Culture
Ben Floyd (Texas A&M) will be talking about the move to Service Oriented Architecture, and software as a service. Mashups are becoming very popular in high tech society today as a way to lower development costs and leverage social intelligence. Talk of the semantic web has fueled a new generation of thinkers to combine silos of information into much more powerful networks of software systems.
For the presentation Ben will talk about some of the more popular web service providers such as Google, Yahoo, and Amazon, and describe how they and others are using their services. Ben will also talk about SOA in corporate environments such as HP, IBM and Dell. Ben will also cover things like Flickr, YouTube, blogs, wikis, RSS, etc. Some of them are coming up with ways to link their information together in a SOA-ish way.
This event is sponsored by Freebirds.
Also, this is a free event, no RSVP required.
