Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is actively enabling component reuse today and helping companies leverage their existing IT investments.

In these recessionary times when every IT dollar must be made to count, the 16th International SOA World Conference & Expo (September 22-23, 2009, in San Francisco) will be about showing attending delegates how their business or organization can start doing the same, and offering them resources, ideas and examples they can apply immediately.

The Conference Theme of this September's SOA World, which is the world’s number one longest-running SOA event, is 'Services - The Mainstay of the New Web Revolution' and the event will feature parallel content-rich tracks reflecting the worldwide adoption of the distributed computing paradigm, in which web services are deployed through specific service-oriented architectures and in which reusable components are core to the overall vision.

The technical program in September in San Francisco will provide a framework about how to understand policies, composites, lifecycle governance, loose coupling, heterogeneous distributed systems, adaptability vs. stability, service portfolio management – every relevant aspect of SOA as a framework for constructing and interlinking a company’s backend systems with the overall goal of lowering cost and adding flexibility. Cloud Computing, recently compared to "pure SOA" will feature prominently.

Many organizations have already adopted SOA development models to deliver flexible and agile application components, but SOA is about people as much as technology which is why so many companies send delegates to SOA World to accelerate their journey toward becoming SOA-enabled enterprises.

Architects, developers and managers making SOA design decisions will learn about CIO-pleasing governance principles and much more. There's simply no other conference like it.

The event is co-located with the 8th International AJAXWorld RIA Conference & Expo.
