For the First Time in Europe The International Cloud Symposium features expert speakers from around the world to present on the most important and relevant topics pertaining to the emerging field of Cloud Computing. The theme of "The Future of Cloud Computing" highlights many of the modern technology innovations that are being developed in support of Cloud-based services. As a co-located conference being held in conjunction with the 2nd International SOA Symposium, this event further addresses the ever-widening convergence between SOA and Cloud-based services. The International Cloud Symposium is brought to you by the same team responsible for the SOA Symposium series. Therefore, the same philosophy of "substance only" is applied to all chosen speaker sessions in order to ensure consistent depth and a constant focus on providing value for practitioners. Note that several of the speakers from the Cloud Symposium will also be participating in a set of panels dedicated to Cloud Computing topics. Be sure to visit the Expert Panels page for details. 20 Expert Speaker Sessions The International Cloud Symposium features 20 speaker sessions dedicated to Cloud Computing and the convergence of SOA and Cloud Computing. These speaker sessions
cover a variety of topics,
including: •  Modern and Emerging Cloud-Based Service Technologies •  Positioning Cloud Computing as an Extension to SOA •  Applying Service-Orientation to Cloud-Based Services •  Security Pitfalls and Concerns of Cloud-Based Services •  Private Clouds & Enterprise Cloud-Based Solutions •  Governing Cloud-Based Services •  Implementing SaaS, PaaS and IaaS Individually and Together •  Building REST Services in the Cloud •  SOA Design Patterns for Cloud Computing •  RIA for Cloud-Based Solutions •  Cloud-Based Service Virtualization Speakers are still being selected for this event and several more speaker sessions will be added soon. For speaker dates and times, view the Conference Agenda page. For full descriptions of all Cloud Symposium sessions, jump to the Speaker Sessions page.

"Cloud Computing & SOA" Book Event All of the authors of the upcoming book "Cloud Computing & SOA" will be speaking at the International Cloud Symposium and the 2nd International SOA Symposium. A special event is planned to make advance content from the book available and for conference attendees to meet with authors and further discuss the convergence of Cloud Computing and SOA and techniques for applying service-orientation to Cloud-Based Services.
One Registration Fee for Two Events The International Cloud Symposium is a co-located event being held together with the 2nd International SOA Symposium. The speaker sessions for the International Cloud Symposium are held at the same venue as the 2nd International SOA Symposium. You will only be required to pay one registration fee and you will have full access to all speakers sessions during both events. To learn more, visit the Conference Agenda and Registration pages. Additionally, you can register for the pre-conference "Cloud Computing & SOA" workshop or any of the post-conference SOA workshops and receive 10% off the workshop fee when also registering for the conference. Visit the Workshop Agendas page for details. Expert Panel: October 22, 2009 "SOA in the Cloud: How Do Cloud-Based Services Change the Way We Build Service-Oriented Solutions?" Cloud-based services and platforms can benefit from being architecturally shaped by service-orientation and SOA patterns and best practices. But when building service-oriented solutions that incorporate or are entirely comprised of cloud-based services, what new design, development, and deployment considerations does this raise? The panel will discuss how the inclusion of cloud-based technology impacts SOA. Panelists:
Toufic Boubez
Simone Brunozzi
Jason Hogg
David Van Puyvelde
Herbjorn Wilhelmsen Expert Panel: October 23, 2009 "Will the Open Cloud Become a Reality?" One of the greatest challenges facing the on-going evolution of the Cloud Computing platform is inter-Cloud provider compatibility. Few standards and conventions exist that will allow organizations with services and data at one Cloud provider to move to another. The Open Cloud community is intending to change that, but what needs to be accomplished in order for this movement to succeed? Panelists:
