Policy-Driven SOA – the New Contract for Architecture
Wednesday 19 September 2007
The promise of SOA is in delivering flexible, loosely-coupled systems. In order to achieve this, contracts, requirement and capabilities need to be defined and automated through a declarative and manageable mechanism. This required level of abstraction for SOA sits at the Policy level. This talk will introduce the concept of Policy Driven SOA and discuss Policy and the WS-Policy specification as the new contract abstraction for SOA.

Joint Webinar with Layer 7 and Sun: Identity Driven SOA Governance - Best Practices - Podcast Featuring The Burton Group
Digital Identity is at the heart of the modern business ecosystem. However, governing SOA interactions - particularly across a distributed or federated environment - creates complexity not found in typical user-machine exchanges. Separating policy creation and enforcement from service implementation can simplify SOA governance without compromising scalability, flexibility and auditability - accommodating even the most elaborate, heterogeneous IT landscapes. This Webinar will review best practices for building and operating a policy-centered, identity-driven SOA.
A Practical Guide to Policy Authoring for SOA Governance
This Webcast, presented by Layer 7 CTO and WS-Policy co-editor, Dr. Toufic Boubez, will cover how to declaratively *define SOA Policy for SOA Governance applications.* Consistent, standards based policy definition is the first step in implementing an SOA Governance framework.
