Next Generation Government – Services, Services Everywhere: Now What?
A moderated discussion of lessons learned and managing services when organizations go live with SOA. As our different agencies begin to populate the operational nets with services the complexity of the interaction between services from various systems and organizations will intensify, or will they? Discussions on how programs and initiatives are dealing with this transition to services. They will also discuss how they see technology evolving to assist in managing this complexity in the government enterprise.

Government SOA/Web Services Implementation Case Studies
Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web Services provide distinct advantages in software reusability, dynamic interoperability, and net-centricity – with effectiveness driven by the implementation of SOA-related standards and best practices. Three case studies explore how government agencies address the enterprise, technology, and process challenges and maximize the potential results in implementing SOA and Web Services.

Day 2
| 8:30 AM |
Compliance, Security and Information Integration
More and more federal agencies as well as corporations must adapt to a world of ever-increasing complexity, connectivity, and turbulence. Compliance with regulation, protecting and integrating information are connected strategic elements. A resilient enterprise reacts successfully to disruptive changes by realigning processes and resources to minimize risks in response to challenges such as changing external market forces, regulation liability and security threats. SOA, process orientation and compliance rules establish the critical foundation for the successful enterprise across its IT infrastructure.

Creating an Interoperable SOA Governance Solution: Making Governance Work
SOA Governance must address all of the aspects of one's business and technology roadmap. SOA Governance goes well beyond a single "tool" to create or enforce policies or any of the technologies that make up an SOA architecture such as - security, management, registry/UDDI, development, orchestration/composite services, etc. SOA Governance must be full baked into an organization's business, political and technology roadmap.
This panel will examine expert opinions from both Government and Industry that address:
- What does SOA Governance mean?
- How does it apply to SOA
technologies?
- What are the business implications and political implications of creating a governance framework that works?
- What are the current challenges around Governance in the DOD/Industry?
- What are the steps to creating an interoperable Governance solution?

Assuring Quality Information
The promise of open systems and service oriented architectures goes well beyond just connecting systems. The ultimate benefit is providing an exponential increase in essential, high quality information in order to improve the performance of the enterprise and even everyday lives. To achieve this benefit, several critical questions must be addressed. Is more information necessarily good? Does open access to data sources increase the likelihood of erroneous information? How does open source / media information weigh in the decision process? How is information quality established and maintained? This panel will address these questions and other related topics. The panel will be made up of a mix of government, military, industry and media representatives to discuss how the rapid increase in the integration of systems is affecting information quality and what possible steps lie ahead in this area.

Realizing and assessing Service Oriented Architectures (SOAs)
Net-Centric Enterprise Services (NCES) will provide Department of Defense (DoD) users a capability-based infrastructure designed to provide complete access to enterprise data through a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) foundation. This data will be available to all customers anywhere, at any time, when on the Global Information Grid (GIG). The NCES Program Office serves as a model for organizations seeking to improve enterprise performance.
In this course, you will learn:
-The NCES blueprint for establishing secure, agile, robust, dependable, and interoperable data sharing across DoD
-The use of Network Warfare Simulation (NETWARS) to ensure timely and consistent end-to-end performance of -NCES throughout the GIG to include strategic, tactical and operational networks
-The use of Semantic Interoperability to dynamically discover, access, and consume information in a meaningful, loosely-coupled manner, allowing organizations to act in mission critical time frames
