Title: Introduction to JBoss AS

Presenter: Bernard Tison

Company: JBoss, a division of Red Hat

Abstract: One of the drivers behind the success of the JBoss Application server is ease of use. In this introductory presentation, we will effectively show how easy it is to install and run the application server and deploy applications on it. We will have a look at the JMX console and how you can use it to manage your server. You’ll see how you can customize the server, by removing services you don’t need, or adding functionality of your own. We will also show how to set up a cluster leveraging the built-in clustering capabilities.

Bio:  Bernard recently joined JBoss as Systems Engineer. He started his IT career in the AS/400 world, became a specialist in Lotus products and rolled into the Java world. He held several positions as J2EE developer and architect, responsible for mission critical J2EE applications mainly for Belgian government agencies. As such he had the opportunity to work with different application servers, but it’s the JBoss Application Server he fell in love with. So joining JBoss and helping to spread the word felt as a natural career move.

Time: 13:00-13:50

Title: JBoss AS Customer Case Study: T-Systems Telephony Platform

Presenter: Adolf Liepelt

Company: T-Systems

Abstract: Last year there was a challenge to redesign the platform for telephony games of a big telecommunications company. The platform for such games has to handle a call volume of about 300.000 calls per hour with peaks of up to 400 calls per second. The available budget for this project was quite small and didn’t allow high license fees.  The telephony game platform consists of many so-called voice machines on several places, and a central application server which provides web front-ends for users and the gaming logic for the voice machines. For the central server, a J2EE application based on JBoss 4.0.2 and MySQL 4.1.12 was developed. In the presentation architectural key decisions of this central application are shown.

Bio: Adolf Liepelt was born 1968 in Germany. 1998 he graduated with the Diploma in Computer Science at Technical University in Dresden. Now he is working at T-Systems Multimedia Solutions GmbH as Software Architect and Technical Project Manager. His professional emphases are the design of distributed J2EE applications and technical consulting.

Title: JBoss Portal Case Study: Web 2.0 Enabled through Alfresco, JBoss Portal and jBPM

Presenter: John Newton

Company: Alfresco

Abstract: Web 2.0 is radically changing the experience in which end users interact with enterprises and on-line systems. Users now expect more dynamic, interactive, easier and personalized environment for using and contributing content. Providing this self-service experience and to automatically deliver content in new and interactive contexts has put a burden on the existing infrastructure of current generation content management systems. A new generation of enterprise content management is needed to meet the challenges of Web 2.0 which we call Content Management 2.0. Alfresco utilizes JBoss Portal, jBPM, Hibernate and Aspect Oriented Programming to create a complete Web 2.0 environment. Alfresco provides a Content Management 2.0 platform for web content management, image, records and document management as well as new forms of content such as wikis and syndication.This presentation explains the new challenges of Web 2.0, what technology changes are required, how do these technologies “mash-up” to be able to glue systems new styles of systems together, and what role processes play in making this all easier.

Bio: John Newton, CTO and Chairman of Alfresco, has had one of the longest and most influential careers in content management. In 1990, John co-founded, designed and led the development of Documentum, the leader in content management acquired by EMC. For the next ten years, he invented many of the concepts widely used in the industry today. John was one of the founding engineers at Ingres where he helped develop the world's first commercial relational database. John graduated with a BS in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley.

Time: 14:00-14:50

Title: Introduction to JBoss jBPM

Presenter: Tom Baeyens

Company: JBoss, a division of Red Hat

Abstract: This talk will zoom in on two topics that are very controversial in Business Process Management (BPM): First, the relation between the business user and the developer.  Secondly, how to find your way in the process language forest.

We'll present our refined view of how business users and developers can collaborate on business processes.  The old style view where business analysts are going to create deployable software artifacts is long gone, but only very few BPM vendors have got a decent alternative.

Which process language will be the standard in the future ?  Good question.  The answer just takes a little bit more explanation then naming one of the many specifications like BPEL, XPDL, BPMN, BPSS, ...  We believe that you'll use different process languages to model different aspects of software develoment.  These process languages are all dialects of a common unified model.  That is why jBPM is conceived as a platform for process languages.  So you can be sure that your investment in process technology lasts and that you don't have to deploy a new, separate engine for each process language that you might want to use.

Bio: Tom Baeyens is the founder and lead developer of JBoss jBPM, the leading open source workflow management system.  He represents JBoss in the expert groups JSR207 “process definition for java” and JSR208 “java business integration”.  Tom is a frequent speaker on Java and BPM at international conferences and he's the author of the articles “Graph Oriented Programming”, “The State of Workflow” and “Open source workflow and the BPM-market”.

Time: 15:00-15:50

Title: jBPM jPDL: Embeddable BPM

Presenter: Tom Baeyens

Company: JBoss, a division of Red Hat

Abstract: jPDL is one of the process languages supported by the JBoss jBPM process platform.  It's the ultimate process language
for real Business Process Management (BPM).   It supports the collaboration between the business user and the
developer in a natural way.

Business users can model freely.  Whatever graphical diagram they come up with, the developer knows that this diagram can be used as the basis for the implementation. 

First, a clean integration with Java is requried to achieve this.  This means that the developer can associate Java code in any place in the graphical diagram; visually and hidden.  Also this implies that jPDL must integrate with existing Java architectures and environments like standard java and enterprise java.

A second key feature that makes jBPM very well suited for BPM is its sophisticated task management.  jPDL includes the most complete task management capabilities found in BPM systems today.

If you're interested to learn about the differences between BPM languages and e.g. service orchestration languages like BPEL, be sure not to miss out on the 'Introduction to JBoss jBPM' which will be presented right in front of this presentation.

Bio: Tom Baeyens is the founder and lead developer of JBoss jBPM, the leading open source workflow management system.  He represents JBoss in the expert groups JSR207 “process definition for java” and JSR208 “java business integration”.  Tom is a frequent speaker on Java and BPM at international conferences and he's the author of the articles “Graph Oriented Programming”, “The State of Workflow” and “Open source workflow and the BPM-market”.

Title: Introduction to SOA

Presenter: Shaun Connolly

Company: JBoss, a division of Red Hat

Abstract: The term “Service-Oriented Architecture” (SOA) has been described in various ways throughout the IT industry. Since 2001, however, widely acknowledged standards such as Java EE and web services have enabled a new level of interoperability and SOAs. Until now, enterprises looking to implement and realize the benefits of an SOA have had to choose between pricey, monolithic, proprietary platforms or an assortment of open source and proprietary components that need to be cobbled together. This presentation will provide an overview of SOA, the business problems that SOA is intended to address, and how JBoss is focused on making it practical and easy to deploy SOA projects with lower costs and increased flexibility. An overview of the JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite as an affordable, developer-friendly, and cohesive SOA foundation will also be covered.

Bio: Shaun Connolly is responsible for managing the products that comprise the JBoss Enterprise Middleware Suite.

Title: BPEL Advanced

Presenter: Tom Baeyens

Company: JBoss, a division of Red Hat

Abstract: BPEL is a great service orchestration language and it is also supported on top of the jBPM process platform.  You'll learn what an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is and how BPEL fits naturally in such an environment.  You'll get a clear picture of the kind of processes that you can express in BPEL and what a BPEL engine has to do to deploy these processes.

On the other hand, BPEL has been misquoted and overhyped in the context of BPM.  Some projects already have failed for using BPEL in the wrong context.  This presentation will give you clear insight for which use cases BPEL is the right fit and for which cases there are better alternatives available.

Title: JEMS Customer Case Study: Norisbank

Presenter: Thilo Rottach

Company: Norisbank

Abstract: Downstream Life - living successful with mission-critical applications: A big part of IT publications is deeply concerned with software development "upstream" topics: software / system architecture, component design, development and test processes, project management etc.
Considering, that most software systems are being developed in a relatively short time to be "run" and "maintained in production" afterwards for a multiple of this timespan, the term "downstream" can be understood in a new way.
This lecture presents the key points of now three  years "running" experience with easyCredit, a JBOSS / ORACLE based J2EE software system.
It addresses: production problems, software evolution, load and tuning of JBOSS and ORACLE, outsourcing, ITIL operations and delivery, process organization for maintenance, product management, quality assurance and improvement, business process management and alerting, exception event stream processing and alerting.

Bio: Thilo Rottach is the department head of the application quality management and production systems control department for the easyCredit application of norisbank AG. He also was responsible for the development of the mission-critical easyCredit application. Mr. Rottach has more than 15 years of experience in the industry as chief development officer, project manager, consultant, trainer and software developer specialising  on Java projects (Enterprise Edition, Micro Edition, Standard Edition).

Title: Introduction to Clustering

Presenter: Bela Ban

Company: JBoss, a division of Red Hat

Abstract: This session will give an overview of JBoss clustering. We will
briefly look at the available components, and their use inside of
JBoss.

Most of the available time will be spent on a demo showing how a
simple web application, which accesses an HTTP session, can be
clustered across a 2 node JBoss cluster, using JBoss Web and
Apache/mod_jk as front-end. We will show how a failover works, by
killing one of the nodes, and also show how a graceful failover can be
achieved using Apache and the status web application.

Attendees do not need to have any knowledge of JBoss or clustering in
general, but should have some knowledge of HTTP sessions.  We will provide a wifi router, so attendees will be able to access the
Apache front end and create their own sessions, and then see them fail
over to the backup node.

Bio: Completed his PhD at the University of Zurich, Switzerland. After some time at IBM Research, he did a post-doc at Cornell. Then he worked on NMS/EMS for Fujitsu Network Communications in San Jose, California. In 2003, he joined JBoss to work full-time on open source. Bela manages the Clustering Team at JBoss and created and leads the JGroups project.

Track: Business of Open Source

Title: Will Seam increase your productivity?

Presenter: Markus Dahm

Company: Akquinet Framework Solutions

Abstract: Seam is a new framework that supports development by configuration. Similar to IoC frameworks the developer specifies the requirements of an object and SEAM injects and outjects the needed objects at runtime.

If one needs to decide about the application of such a new technology, the interesting question is: will I be able to develop my application faster? Will it support my architectural concerns?

We will present a case study about two projects about the same size in the same domain for the same customer. The first one was done using JBoss 3.2, EJB 2.1, and Struts. The second one was done three years later with JBoss 4.0.4, EJB 3, and SEAM. In both cases we applied new technology and had to learn the technical details in the project.

We will present the experiences we gathered in these two projects. We will compare the learning curve between the two sets of technologies and we will present the final architectures of the applications. We will also try to give some insight into the main question: How much will SEAM increase your productivity?

Time: 13:00-13:50

Title: An Executive Case Study: SOA and BPM

Title: JEMS Case Study: Kibble IT Ltd.

Presenter: Nick West & Paul Croall

Company: Kibble IT Ltd.

Abstract: At a household car rental name, we moved over to use JEMS packages for some of their business critical systems.  We’ll start with a brief introduction about the system followed by how we migrated to synchronised JBoss Cache in order to scale and then how and why we migrated from WebLogic to JBoss Application Server.  I'll then tell you how we implemented WebServices on JBoss using the same code-base for a new dot net application consumption

Following on from this very specific and positive success story, it is proposed that something very profound is going on in relation to JBoss’s open-source JEMS.

JBoss’s open-source JEMS is placed in its historic context, strongly arguing that it is far more foundational than just another product.

There is always a lot on noise, but there is also sometimes subtle and discrete yet sometimes blatant, unstoppable forward drive of momentum.  It is always there and powerful, as powerful and persistent as water.  It is bigger than any one company.  It can be expressed as resultant of the spirit of mankind and often seen in the products of the open-source community.  JBoss sharpens it, into an easily usable and supportable form.

This presentation then poses some key questions.  While the answers do not come from JBoss themselves, they do come from those who’ve seen and tasted what is on offer, and like it.  Moreover, they come from those with the expertise to differentiate and are happy to share not only why they like it, but also how you can share in the deeper benefits.

Time: 16:00-16:50

Title: Nuxeo: Open Source ECM Vendor

Presenter: Eric Barroca and Arnaud Léfevre
