I am track hosting the coud computing track. It looks like we'll have speakers from Google, Yahoo and John Musser from ProgrammableWeb.

I'll be organizing the coud computing track for QCon. Hope to see you there!

My first live talk about Google products. Just to maintain the balance in the universe I work with both Yahoo! Pipes and Google Mashup Editor.

I will be leading the SOA track at JAOO this year. Is there anything left to say about SOA? I think so! I am looking to compile a series of insightful talks that are based on real experiences.

I have heard great things about JavaZone from many other speakers. This time I get to be part of it.

This one should be fun -- I get to hang out with my intellectual drinking buddies in Antwerp.

Agile development methods enjoy increasing popularity when it comes to building business applications. They promise flexibility, immediate customer feedback, and a high-quality solution. However, some of the basic mechanisms of service-oriented architectures can be perceived as a counterforce to agile development. For example, published interface contracts can bog down rapid iteration. Also, development tools that support an agile development style are not always available for Web-services based interactions. Can you have the best of both worlds?

I heard good things about this German conference from a number of people. This time I'll have an opportunity to speak. It'll be great to be in Munich during the winter but they make me work pretty hard for it: three talks in a row... I hope there will be some time left to party with Christian!

This 3 hour tutorial will allow me to expand on my popular talk on composable, event-driven systems.

A panel with Steve Swartz should be fun, especially on connected systems.

This talk is still in the planning phase. TechEd Europe will have quite a few Indigo talks because not everybody is going to be able to make it to PDC. I myself need to find a way to weazle a ticket to PDC out of someone ;-)

The SD Forum organizes local events in the Bay Area. This talk concludes an all day Web Services Conference organized by SD Forum. Admission is free to SD Members or $15 for others. This might be the cheapest way yet to see me speak :-)

I will be co-presenting with Ted Neward, which promises to be quite entertaining :-)

EAI Forum is the largest integration related event in the German speaking area. Luckily, I started to translate some of my material into German...

After missing the SD conference this year, I will explain how to leverage event-driven architectures inside a single virtual machine.

Keith Pleas organizes these summits in close collaboration with Microsoft. These events are smaller in scale but give attendees ample access to the speakers. Ward is coming as well, so this one should be good.

Well, Martin gets to go to the Gold Coast and I have to make do with rainy Seattle. Oh well, gotta write a few more books :-)

I am sure next year's TheServerSide Symposium will be as much fun and as content-rich as last year's. I look forward to more panels moderated by Ted Neward

Despite the apparent database focus in the title of this event, there is a definite emphasis on SOA and Web services. Frank Leymann and Satish Thatte (the two brainfathers of BPEL) will speak there as well so I am honored to have my name appear among all the BPEL celebrities. My talk will focus on what SOA means for developers, what kind of tools and skill sets we need etc. I think this is a topic that is too often ignored as we all love to dwell in the architectural benefits of SOA.

I jumped into this one at the last minute. Interesting line-up with lots of talks on SOA etc.

My ACM tutorials use C# examples, so for JavaPolis I am going to port these to JAX-RPC or JMS. The way I constructed the example components switching from one transport to the other should be very easy. Maybe BEA's new QuickSilver will be available by then. It would be cool to do the examples in that. Anyone from BEA feel free to e-mail me :-)

EAI Patterns for the first time in German! Jawohl...

At least one show close to home :-)

The most popular tutorial so far at OOPSLA 2004! Join us! This year we split the tutorial in two halves. Bobby does a half-day intro into the terminology and request-reply examples. My tutorial focuses on coupling, service-orientation, message flow architectures and conversations. I will use real running examples to show how to construct message flow architectures.

No reruns! This tutorial will feature more real, running examples. I am currently assembling a set of reusable components that implement the core patterns (Splitter, Router, Translator). During the tutorial I will use these components to show running versions of the examples discussed in the slides. I am also planning to post these components on this site once they are done.

A walk through application and integration patterns targeted at enterprise developers. By the time TechEd is held our new Microsoft PAG book on integration patterns should be available.

Finally a conference focused on EAI. I am very excited to present at an event dedicated to integration issues.

Hironori Washizaki and his team invited me to give a talk at the Tokyo Patterns Working Group. I had a great time and learned how to write my name in Katakana.

One of the biggest Java events in Europe, organized by the Belgian Java User's group - BeJUG.

Nexus is a neat computer bookstore and somewhat of a local institution. Sadly, I think they have gone out of business since.

A half-day tutorial showing how to use integration patterns to design integration solutions. Plus: Book Launch!!

This big conference in a small country continues to attract top-notch software development talent. JAOO really one of the best-run shows I know of. The speaker roster is first class and the general level is very high.

A quick (25 slide) introduction into EAI patterns.

A 90 minute journey through the world of EAI patterns.
