Doug, thanks for putting together the agenda.

Jane, what's the status of this - we should figure out who is participating.  How many do they want?

Subject:        [opencsa-ms] SCA Workshop Opportunity at Gartner Event

Open CSA Steering Committee Members,
Gartner contacted us last week about a possible SCA workshop opportunity at their upcoming Gartner Application Architecture, Development & Integration Summit.  The event will be held June 9-11 in Orlando, Florida (http://www.gartner.com/it/page.jsp?id=603607).  Doug Tidwell of IBM has kindly offered to help us build an agenda (see latest version below).  Please feel free to send Doug any comments on the agenda and/or speaker suggestions (dtidwell@us.ibm.com).   We welcome the support.   Regards, Jane  

Proposed workshop agenda:

• A very brief history of SOAs - We'll very quickly put SCA in context with other technologies we've all worked with over the last few years.
  
• Why SCA makes life simpler - SCA has a number of benefits, including its composition model, a single programming model for all kinds of services and the ability to define and enforce policies independently of the applications themselves. �We'll look at them here. �
  
• SCA application diagrams - SCA application diagrams make it easier to understand composition and assembly, references, interfaces, properties, etc. �The diagrams we'll look at here describe the sample application we'll cover in the following section. �
  
• Code and other details - We'll show them some samples from the Tuscany Fruit Shop application. �After we show them a simple demo, we'll have the audience do a hands-on exercise to extend the code we've just shown them. �We'll stress the ability of an SCA application's infrastructure to change without affecting the application itself. �
  
• Customer scenario - This is a summary of a customer using SCA now. �It shows how SCA is being used in the real world. �The customer involved (my guess is we'll have to talk about them in very generic terms) used SCA as an evolutionary path to an SOA. �That's a message that has resonated well with customers.
  
• Next steps - We'll end with a list of best practices, advice and resources, including vendor and open-source implementations of SCA.
