For the First Time in Europe
The International Cloud Symposium features expert speakers from around the world to present on the most important and relevant topics pertaining to the emerging field of Cloud Computing.
The theme of "The Future of Cloud Computing" highlights many of the modern technology innovations that are being developed in support of Cloud-based services. As a co-located conference being held in conjunction with the 2nd International SOA Symposium, this event further addresses the ever-widening convergence between SOA and Cloud-based services.
The International Cloud Symposium is brought to you by the same team responsible for the SOA Symposium series. Therefore, the same philosophy of "substance only" is applied to all chosen speaker sessions in order to ensure consistent depth and a constant focus on providing value for practitioners.
Note that several of the speakers from the Cloud Symposium will also be participating in a set of panels dedicated to Cloud Computing topics. Be sure to visit the
Expert Panels page for details.

"Cloud Computing & SOA" Book Event
All of the authors of the upcoming book "Cloud Computing & SOA" will be speaking at the International Cloud Symposium and the 2nd International SOA Symposium. A special event is planned to make advance content from the book available and for conference attendees to meet with authors and further discuss the convergence of Cloud Computing and SOA and techniques for applying service-orientation to Cloud-Based Services.
"Cloud Computing & SOA" Workshop (November 23-25, 2009)
SOASchool.com is releasing a new set of courses and exams dedicated to Cloud Computing. These courses will be held for the very first time as part of a special three-day workshop in Virginia, USA at the VirginiaTech college.
This workshop is comprised of the following courses:
•
Fundamental Cloud Computing & SOA (November 23, 2009)
•
Advanced Cloud Computing & SOA (November 24, 2009)
•
Cloud Computing & SOA Lab (November 25, 2009)
(Click on the above course title to view the course outline.)
You can register for each course individually. By registering for all three courses together you will receive a 10% discount. As part of a special promotion, if you are also attending the International SOA/Cloud Symposium events, you will receive a further 10% discount on the workshop AND on the conference registration fees.
The "Cloud Computing & SOA" workshop is dedicated to covering both fundamental and advanced topics pertaining to Cloud Computing and further establishing how and where Cloud Computing relates to service-oriented architecture and how service-orientation practices can be effectively applied to Cloud-based services.
To learn more about other SOA Certified Professional workshops that are occurring during the International Cloud Symposium and International SOA Symposium events, visit the
Workshop Agendas page.
One Registration Fee for Two Events
The International Cloud Symposium is a co-located event being held together with the 2nd International SOA Symposium.
The speaker sessions for the International Cloud Symposium are held at the same venue as the 2nd International SOA Symposium. You will only be required to pay one registration fee and you will have full access to all speakers sessions during both events. To learn more, visit the
Conference Agenda and
Registration pages.
Additionally, you can register for the pre-conference "Cloud Computing & SOA" workshop or any of the post-conference SOA workshops and receive 10% off the workshop fee when also registering for the conference. Visit the
Workshop Agendas page for details.
Expert Panel: October 22, 2009
"SOA in the Cloud: How Do Cloud-Based Services
Change the Way We Build Service-Oriented Solutions?"
Cloud-based services and platforms can benefit from being architecturally shaped by service-orientation and SOA patterns and best practices. But when building service-oriented solutions that incorporate or are entirely comprised of cloud-based services, what new design, development, and deployment considerations does this raise? The panel will discuss how the inclusion of cloud-based technology impacts SOA.

"Will the Open Cloud Become a Reality?"
One of the greatest challenges facing the on-going evolution of the Cloud Computing platform is inter-Cloud provider compatibility. Few standards and conventions exist that will allow organizations with services and data at one Cloud provider to move to another. The Open Cloud community is intending to change that, but what needs to be accomplished in order for this movement to succeed?
