Breakout Sessions
ARC202 - Cloud Computing – A Crash Course for Architects
- Session Type: Breakout Session
- Track: Architecture
- Speaker(s): Beat Schwegler
Cloud Computing promises instant access to unlimited computers, storage and application resources… and this all comes with zero capital investment. However, most companies can't or won't move all of their assets to the cloud.
What applications, services and capabilities benefit the most from cloud computing? To answer this question we will discuss the promise and dynamics of cloud computing, including the regulatory requirements, financial aspects, and last but not least the technical capabilities.
ARC303 - Architecting Claims-Aware Applications (with the Windows Identity Foundation and Active Directory Federation Services)
- Session Type: Breakout Session
- Track: Architecture
- Speaker(s): Dominick Baier
Claims, Tokens and (possibly) Federation are the new ways to model authentication, access control and personalization for distributed applications. While the possibilities in these technologies are vast, there are some well-established patterns for typical security scenarios. This includes guidelines for the usage of claims, identity providers, resource security token services, federation gateways and multi-tenancy. This talk walks you through common application architectures and illustrates how to use the Windows Identity Foundation (WIF) and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) to tap into the power of claims-based security.

COS321 - Cloud Computing, is it right for you?
- Session Type: Breakout Session
- Track: Architecture, Cloud Computing & Online Services, Security, Identity & Access
- Speaker(s): John Craddock
The Cloud encompasses services that are provided by other organisations, these services include storage, databases, applications, infrastructure, and more. As these services are hosted by third-parties, they potentially offer your organisation cheap, leveraged on demand, pay as you go, and highly scalable solutions for IT. At first sight this may seem like the perfect panacea, allowing an organization to quickly leverage low cost solutions. However, it requires careful architectural planning to decide what should go into the cloud and what should remain on-premise. Get it right and you will reap the rewards, get it wrong and feel the pain. Come to this session and discover what Cloud computing is all about and how it will change the landscape of your IT systems. No longer will your organisation’s data and business processes be contained within the strict confines of your perimeter network. Your security and services architecture will need to evolve to encompass the Cloud. Share John’s insight into making the Cloud work for you.

DEV203 - Open Data for the Open Web
- Session Type: Breakout Session
- Track: Developer Tools, Languages & Frameworks
- Speaker(s): Jonathan Carter
There is no shortage of valuable data being generated by applications, reports, tools, Web sites, etc. Unfortunately, this leaves many of us wishing we could programmatically access the data and logic behind an app, report, or Web site. To break down data silos and increase the shared value of data and its associated business logic through the Web, Microsoft has recently announced the Open Data Protocol which enables exposing any data source as a Web-friendly data feed. Join this session to understand what the Open Data Protocol (OData) is and how it adds end-user and developer value to many of Microsoft's leading products and services (such as SharePoint Server 2010, Microsoft Codename "Dallas", Windows Azure, SQL Server Reporting Services, SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel, Visual Studio, .NET, Silverlight, AJAX, etc.) and is accessible from a range of platforms such as Java and PHP.

Incredible simplicity, great possibilities - that is the power of OData and WCF data services. After a short introduction of OData from a standards-perspective and how you can see it compared to SOAP-based services, we will quickly dive into developing adopting OData by creating WCF Data Services with the .NET Framework 4.0. We’ll take a look on the most important technical possibilities such as query interceptors, service operations as well as securing WCF data services. Finally based some ideas from a real-world-experience you will learn about clear advantages and scenarios where OData is a perfect fit and a neat addition to SOAP-based services in a service oriented environment. Come and learn about information services and entity services that are shining through their simplicity!

Interactive Sessions
ARC301-IS - Multi-Tenant Architectures in Software-as-a-Service Solutions
- Session Type: Interactive Session
- Track: Architecture
- Speaker(s): Rainer Stropek
"Software as a Service" (SaaS) is a software distribution model that uses the Internet to deploy, maintain and run software solutions. For the first time ever small and medium software vendors have the possibility to reach the large number of small businesses around the globe (the "long tail") and offer solutions as services to them. Applications that are built to be used by thousands of customers have the need to be configurable and customizable to a high degree. This has a strong impact on the applications’ architectures. A single code base and a limited number of deployed instances have to serve a large number of customers (=tenants) although the users’ view on the system may be very different. In this session Rainer Stropek presents challenges that software architects are typically faced with when building such configurable multi-tenancy solutions. As a second step Rainer shows possible solutions. In the final part of his talk he will discuss applicable mechanism for multi-tenancy in the Windows Azure Platform.
