Sessions that I attended today (most of the titles are actually in German, so I had to translate some):

• Rating of software architectures, Part 1: Method
  Dr. Gernot Starke – very good speaker
  Experience is required for rating architectures; functional requirements are not enough; Quality tree -> ISO…, ATAM (Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method (SEI))
• SOA – Defining services from a business point of view
  Lars Roewekamp, OpenKnowledge GmbH – ok, slides hardly readable from the back (small fonts)
  Some interesting thoughts about structuring services and service operations according to business requirements rather than existing IT architectures.
• Keynote: Bringing Web 2.0 in the Enterprise
  Rahul Patel (Oracle)
• Persistence with Spring
  Eberhard Wolff, Interface21 Germany – very good speaker
  Comparison of different persistence approaches using spring templates for plain JDBC, iBatis and O/R-mappers like Hibernate; recommendation to use O/R-mappers with great care, especially if database-centric/relational concepts have to be considered (batch operations, stored procedures etc.).
• Keynote: The security development lifecycle at Microsoft
  Sebastian Weber, Microsoft Deutschland GmbH
  www.thedailywtf.com ;)
• Message-oriented architectures based on Spring
  Jürgen Höller, Interface21 – good speaker
  API-oriented approach outlining the differences between messaging and asynchronous execution; would have expected to see some example architectures, but there were “only” small source code examples; nevertheless an interesting topic
• Eclipse Code Camp Night
  Moderated by Wayne Beaton, Eclipse Foundation
  Some specific eclipse development problems were discussed ad-hoc; had some discussion with Wayne and Bernd Kolb about security in enterprise application clients based on RCP, but came to the conclusion that there is no project/proposal yet, unless I wrote one ;)
