Web services are perceived as the ubiquitous solution to interoperable integration both within and across company boundaries. But despite their name, Web services don't build on the Web - on the contrary, to a large degree, they ignore the principles that have turned the Web into the world's most successful, scalable,distributed and loosely-coupled application.
The presentation will introduce the principles of REST (REpresentational State Transfer), the Web's architecture, and address how to map advanced enterprise scenarios to an architecture that uses HTTP and the Web instead of abusing it.
Stefan Tilkov is co-founder and a prinicipal consultant at innoQ, a consulting firm with offices in Germany and Switzerland. Stefan focuses on enterprise architecture consulting for Fortune 1000 companies, which currently translates to assessing SOA maturity and deriving appropriate steps for a road map towards a service-oriented enterprise.

The JBoss SOA Platform— The JBoss SOA Platform was released in February 2008 and has quickly become a significant open source SOA infrastructure. In this presentation we shall look at the architecture of the SOA Platform, what principles it is based upon, where is it going and how it can help deliver on the SOA vision.
Complex Event Processing— In this talk we will look at how to implement Event Architectures and CEP, especially looking at the Apache Synapse ESB and the Esper CEP toolkit, both Open Source solutions. The talk will include examples, code samples and hands-on approaches to adding CEP to your systems.
RESTful Design, Patterns and Anti-Patterns— This session will start with an extra-fast intro to REST before listing the most common patterns and anti-patterns of applying REST design principles, covering issues such as the (un)importance of URI design, resources vs. representations, and the role of hypermedia.
Paul Sandoz Interview— Ted Neward interviews Paul Sandoz, the co-spec lead for JSR 311: JAX-RS the Java API for RESTful Web Services. During this Devoxx interview Paul compares REST with SOAP Web Services, discusses if we'll ever see reliable and transactional REST calls. Should we extend the existing HTTP methods and are we not over using HTTP are just a few of the questions discussed during this 45 min. interview.
JAX-RS the Java API for RESTful Web Services— This presentation will give a detailed overview of JAX-RS, which is now an approved final JSR. The presentation is designed to appeal to novices and experts of Java who want to understand more about this API, the REST architectural style, and how to build RESTful applications. At the end of the presentation developers will have a better understanding of how to build their own RESTful Web services using JAX-RS.
