ICWS/SCC 2006 Panel Program
ICWS/SCC 2006 proudly announce the following 4 outstanding panels:
Panel 1: Software and Services: Where do they meet?
This panel aims to explore the intrinsic and multi-facet relationships between software and services and the effects of such relationships on the coupling and transformation of computing and business and the embedding of service oriented architecture (SOA) into future computing and business management environments. Today, more and more software are augmented with service oriented packaging. At the same time, more and more business and government services are provided and offered in the form of software. The key focus of this panel is to discuss and debate
Where software and services will meet?
Can and how the dynamic and multi-facet relationships between software and services be modeled and exploited?
What can be leveraged in this endeavor from the perspective of Web services, business transformation, and consumer demand?

Panel 3: Event-Driven Architectures and Complex Event Processing
There are different and conflicting views made by analysts and some vendors about the relative positioning of SOA and EDA. The panel is intended to investigate the relative positioning and determine pros and cons for a unified SOA-EDA solution. The panel questions will concentrate on:
What is the difference between the service-oriented approach to the event-oriented approach?
What are common between the two approaches?
Is combination of the two ("SOA 2.0") makes sense, and
What are its value add to customers?

Panel 4: Mobile Web Services Trend Perspectives
Web Services are finding their way into mobile devices in several disparate islands: We can find WS proxies connected via proprietary wireless connectors to mobile devices (Blackberry MDS), the beginnings of a web service consumer stack in mobile java (JSR172), web service identity federation stacks built into smartphone operating systems (Series 60, Windows Live for Mobile), Web Services “Lite” in the form of Ajax (Opera) on browsers and widgets for mobile devices).
However, challenging issues abound:
Where should we terminate a web service – at a proxy or on the mobile device?
Are there any compelling reasons to make a mobile device a web service consumer or provider itself?
Can mobile web services realize the potential of multivendor interoperability?
When will we see seamless interoperability between enterprise web service platforms (for example J2EE and Vista WCF and their mobile counterparts (J2ME and Windows Mobile)
What are the mobility versions of the Web 2.0 scenarios of social networking and collaboration?
This panel of experts from organizations (Microsoft, Sun, RIM, Opera, Motorola) leading these developments will debate their visions of the mobile web services future.
Moderators:
Pat Narendra has led mobile device architecture, product management and solutions in Motorola over the past seven years. He is presently leading the thrust on web services driven seamless mobility spanning multiple Motorola product lines including mobile devices, enterprise solutions and the connected home.
