From: Igor Metz <metz(a)glue.ch> Date: 28. November 2005 17:01:00 GMT+01:00 To: choose-news(a)iam.unibe.ch Subject: [choose] Service-oriented Computing - Fundamentals of Modern Internet Technologies The CHOOSE executive board and the Institut für Informatik der Universität Zürich are pleased to invite you to a presentation. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Service-oriented Computing - Fundamentals of Modern Internet Technologies. ====================================================================== ==== When: Thursday January 12, 2006, @17h15 Where: Institut für Informatik (IfI), Universität Zürich, IfI H-25 Travel instructions: http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/ifiadmin/wayToInst.html Speaker ======= Schahram Dustdar, Prof. Dr, Technical University of Vienna, Austria http://www.infosys.tuwien.ac.at/staff/sd/ Agenda ====== 17h15 - 18h00 Talk Abstract ======== Today we are experiencing a major paradigm shift in the way that software applications are designed, architected, delivered, and consumed. Service-oriented Computing (SoC) is a new emerging paradigm for distributed computing that has evolved from object-oriented and component computing to enable building agile networks of collaborating applications distributed within and across organizational boundaries. Services are autonomous platform-inde pen dent computational elements that can be described, published, discovered, orchestrated and pro grammed using XML artifacts for the purpose of developing massively distributed interoperable applications. In this talk we will discuss the current state of Service-oriented Computing and outline future research challenges. Bio: ====== Schahram Dustdar is Full Professor for Internet Technologies at the Distributed Systems Group, Information Systems Institute, Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) where he is director of the Vita Lab and Honorary Professor of Information Systems at the University of Groningen (RuG), The Netherlands. He received his M.Sc. (1990) and PhD. degrees (1992) in Business Informatics (Wirtschaftsinformatik) from the University of Linz, Austria. In April 2003 he received his Habilitation degree (Venia Docendi in Angewandte Informatik) for his work on Process-aware Collaboration Systems - Architectures and Coordination Models for Virtual Teams. His work experience includes several years as the founding head of the Center for Informatics (ZID) at the University of Art and Industrial Design in Linz (1991-1999), Austrian project manager of the MICE EU-project (1993 - 97), and director of Coordination Technologies at the Design Transfer Center in Linz (1999 - 2000). While on sabbatical leave he was a post-doctoral research scholar (Erwin-Schrödinger scholarship) at the London School of Economics (Information Systems Department) (1993 and 1994), and a visiting research scientist at NTT Multimedia Communications Labs in Palo Alto, USA during 1998. Since 1999 he works as the co-founder and chief scientist of Caramba Labs Software AG (CarambaLabs.com) in Vienna, a venture capital co-funded software company focused on software for collaborative processes in teams. Caramba Labs was nominated for several (international and national) awards: World Technology Award in the category of Software (2001); Top-Startup companies in Austria (Cap Gemini Ernst & Young) (2002); MERCUR Innovationspreis der Wirtschaftskammer (2002). ---------------------------------------------------------------------- - This event is being run as part of the ifi Colloquium and is sponsored by CHOOSE.
