Welcome Session and Overview
   

1

Envisioning the Service-Oriented Enterprise
  Cities emerge one building at a time, but with the right planning codes the result can be more graceful and functional than anything one architect could conceive alone.  Are services the Jerusalem stone of information technology, the façade that unites old and new to the benefit of all?  What will an organizational technology portfolio look like in ten years time?  How will advances in technology transform business and business processes?  What are the key architectural patterns?  What are the new limits?  What do you set in motion today to anticipate the architecture of tomorrow?  This session will establish the overall architectural metaphor that will drive this year’s Strategic Architect Forum.
   

2

Solution Architecture for the Service-Oriented Enterprise
  How do we work from business requirements to running code when stakeholders may span the organization?  This session will offer a “case-study” walk-through of architectural artifacts from use cases to “code complete”.  The session will consider how our view of a “component” changes as services deliver more and more of an application’s functionality, how services are factored and orchestrated to effect business processes, and the use of client-side intelligence in a services world.
   

3

Technology Architecture for the Service-Oriented Enterprise
  To date, the realization of a service-oriented architecture has been hampered by the prohibitive investment required to build the message-processing infrastructure that provides common services such as reliable messaging, authentication, monitoring, and context-sensitive request routing.  This session will detail how Microsoft is implementing against standards and proposed standards to deliver a trustworthy infrastructure for the deployment and operation of service portfolios.
   

4

Information Architecture for the Service-Oriented Enterprise
  How do we model data in the new world order? What is its canonical representation, and how does this relate to “standard” entity schemas? How should we expose it, aggregate it, cache it, transform it, and synchronize it? Looks at XML, SQL, WINFS, and objects and offers guidance on which to use where. Addresses data design for real-time business intelligence.
