Abstract:

This session is for technologists, software architects and software engineers looking at and considering efficient, flexible and standards-based approaches to implementing real-world service-oriented architectures or SOAs. With the proliferation of Web services and, hence, SOAs as a viable approach to developing and enhancing software architectures, it is imperative to acknowledge that the amount of SOA data will also continue to grow. Furthermore, as the Web services standards stack broadens in functionality, the number of SOA artifacts required to support these new standards grows by the day. We must recognize the obvious need to store, manage, query, manipulate, and transform SOA data. Also, SOA data is frequently accessed by requesting applications. A case can thus be made for a mid-tier cache that exposes technology-independent, reusable, and functionality-rich services, hence, improving SOA scalability and performance. Additionally, as enterprises engage in collaborations with trading partners, interaction with complex schemas becomes a challenge. This emhasizes the need for more than just a simple XML persistence mechanism. We would like to present a native XML data management server that lends itself seamlessly to such complex demands for SOA data management.
