AGENDA
10:30am – 11:00am arcCouncil Kickoff
11:00am – 12:15pm Web 2.0 and Microsoft
Today, new social movements, advances in technology, and forces within business are colliding to create a landscape overflowing with challenges and opportunities. In many cases, these forces have driven the deployment of new technologies and the adoption of new behaviors, adding multiple layers to an already complex set of issues that must be navigated. Architects are searching for a solution to manage this complexity. SOA, ESB, Software as a Service, Web 2.0, and Edge are all elements of the solution, but are they the complete picture? Are they a sufficient answer to the issues? Can they be used together in a productive and efficient fashion? We have the opportunity now to think about what the platform of the future looks like; for software architects to take a step back and to forecast what lies over the horizon. This presentation examines the business, social and technical drivers behind this platform and examines Microsoft’s vision and technologies for the future.

1:00pm – 2:15pm Applying Web 2.0 Patterns and Best Practices
Emerging new methods for leveraging the intrinsic strength of the Web for building effective online applications and Web sites have often been described with the term "Web 2.0". Though sometimes shrouded in hype, a formal understanding of the next generation of design patterns and business models for building successful Web apps has begun to form. This presentation provides a fast-paced, informative exploration of the key aspects of Web 2.0 as it applies to creating application architectures for online products and services, inside or outside the firewall. Specific architectural principles and software design issues will be explored including architectures of participation, harnessing collective intelligence, federated software ecosystems, lightweight programming models and standards, convergence of Web 2.0 with SOA, and an emerging new discipline, something known as Enterprise 2.0.
