Aside from the opportunity to network with 500 practitioners and 80 experts, the Symposium will feature the exclusive Pattern Review Committee, multiple book launches and galleys. This is the 2010 event not to be missed!


Co-Located SOA Symposium
One Registration Fee
for Two Events
This year's International Cloud Symposium will be co-located with the 3rd International SOA Symposium, giving you the opportunity to experience two conferences for the same registration fee. 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 any of the post-conference Cloud Computing & SOA workshops and receive 10% off the workshop fee when also registering for the conference. Visit the Workshop Agendas page for details.


Cloud Computing Camp
To kick-start this year's Cloud Symposium, the first conference day will be dedicated to hosting a CloudCamp event, which is open for anyone to attend free of charge. CloudCamp events are based on the “unconference” format, where early adopters of Cloud Computing technologies exchange ideas via a series of ad-hoc sessions and lighting talks. CloudCamp events are highly interactive, encouraging attendees and participants to share thoughts and ideas. End users, IT professionals and vendors are all encouraged to participate. CloudCamps can be sponsored individually or together with the SOA & Cloud Symposium. To register for this free event, visit: http://www.cloudcamp.org/berlin/2010-10-04

Venue: Berliner Congress Center
The 2010 International SOA & Cloud Symposium will take place at the Berliner Congress Centre in Berlin, Germany. This venue, known for its architectural design history has been recently renovated to reflect a new modern image.
For venue details, directions, and additional information, please visit: www.bcc-berlin.de/en/home
Cloud Computing & SOA Book Preview
All of the authors of the upcoming book "Cloud Computing & SOA" will be speaking at the 2nd International Cloud Symposium and the 3rd 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.

Expert Panel Highlights
Expert Panel: October 5, 2010
"Why Adopt Cloud Computing Without SOA? (Does it make sense to build silos in the cloud?)"
Why Adopt Cloud Computing Without SOA? (Does it make sense to build silos in the cloud?) One of the primary messages delivered in this year's opening keynotes is that while cloud computing innovations provide great potential, they do not prevent us from building silo-based applications all over again, only this time labeled with "cloud" and "services". This panel discusses the need for cloud technologies to be leveraged in conjunction with service-orientation practices in order to utilize clouds for truly strategic business value.
Panelists:
Toufic Boubez
David Chou
Art Ligthart (Moderator)
Mark Little
Jesus Rodriguez
Tony Shan
Expert Panel: October 6, 2010
"Cloud Interoperability - Where are We Today?"
Lack of industry standardization continues to inhibit adoption of cloud computing. With an emphasis on cross-cloud interoperability and mobility, this panel will address how and where industry standards currently are playing a role and further advances being made by standards organizations.
Panelists:
Anthony Assi
Stuart Boardman
Toufic Boubez
Holger Kisker
