Edwin Biemond, Whitehorses, Architect

Oracle ACE and Architect at Whitehorses in the Netherlands. Java Developer of the year 2009 by Oracle Magazin. Edwin is a (inter)national speaker and has a popular blog ( http://biemond.blogspot.com ) about ADF and SOA. I have worked for many years with JDeveloper, JHeadstart and in the past with Designer. I am an expert in ADF, JSF, messaging ( edifact / ebXML) , web services and tuning of the Application and Database server

Melvin van der Kuijl, The Future Group, Oracle Consultant
Many customers have a traditional, rigid architecture that isn’t agile enough to handle environmental change. Enhancements are very time-consuming and expensive. The time to market is above average but must be as short as possible. This session elaborates on how a customer successfully moved from a traditional Oracle Forms-based architecture to SOA with Oracle SOA Suite 11g. Using a top-down, business-driven approach, this company went from a canonical data model to a loosely coupled environment based on open standards such as WSDL, SCA, and BPEL. What were the drivers and challenges, where do you start, and–last but not least–what are the best practices? The presentation answers all these questions.

This is a deep dive session that will walk through the basics of implementing an AIA based SOA integration. Based on customer experiences as well as working internally with various Oracle teams who develop pre-packaged AIA integrations, we will cover the implementation best practices as well as walk through an implementation scenario, show casing the methodology and tools involved in a typical AIA implementation.
