The meeting was held at the JPMorgan Chase building at 270 Park Avenue, NYC, NY.
Over 90 members/users attended this session, which reviewed some new technologies from IBM, some real world user experiences regarding WebSphere Message Broker projects, and trying to manage quality of service in SOA messaging environments. We would like to thank Graham Oakes of JPMorgan Chase for donating the site location and managing the security for the attendees. We also want to thank Nastel for sponsoring both breakfast and lunch!
Some prizes were given away courtesy of the WebSphere
Global Community.
Albert
Mavachev, Director of Technology, Nastel presented:
Monitoring Messaging based SOA Environment
Albert
reviewed how messaging infrastructures are becoming one of the foundations
for service-oriented infrastructure (SOI). His
presentation centered on the challenge of managing the almost endless
combination of platforms, software, databases, middleware, applications and
networks, to ensure quality of service over these diverse entities of the
underlying SOA environment.
Subhash
Kumar, Senior Certified IT Specialist, SOA Advanced Technologies, IBM Software
Group presented:
WebSphere Service Registry and Repository (WSRR)
This
session reviewed establishing WSSR as a central point for finding and managing
service metadata acquired from a number of sources, including service
application deployments and other service metadata & endpoint registries and
repositories, such as UDDI. WSRR
provides unique benefits to an enterprise by enabling the ESB to support
location transparency, dynamic endpoint resolution, dynamic context routing,
protocol transformation, and intelligent caching for better performance in
retrieval of service metadata. SOA
governance considerations were also reviewed.
Shobha
Railkar, IT Consultant, System Associated Info, Inc presented:

future User Group Meeting.
John
presented the powerful capabilities of this product, which helps user
define, simulate, and analyze business processes. John shared his own
experiences with using the Modeler's capabilities for several projects in which
he was involved. This
included: Quickly and accurately model current and future processes, capturing
detailed tasks, resource, financial and organizational attributes, using
classifiers, colors and swim lanes for multiple dimension analysis, viewing
& analyzing simulation flows, creating if-then scenarios to test proposed
process improvements, generating reports, and using a version control system
(i.e. CVS) for team development support
