Web Services Governance: Approaches to Testing and Deploying Interoperable
Web Services, Mark Ericson, Director of Product Marketing, Mindreef, Inc.
Web Services have reached their heyday! For most enterprises, the tools, knowledge, and the basic standards to build web services (WS) are available and ready for prime time! Almost any developer can build a WS interface and any WS-enabled application can call that interface. However, the freeform growth of web services without attention to web services governance could result in duplication of effort or non-interoperable web services. Some analysts liken the problem to what enterprises faced in the 1990s when suddenly almost anyone was empowered to create a web page -- and did! -- often with a dizzying variety of styles and technology and widely differing browser compatibility.
To guard against the proliferation of non-interoperable web services, CTOs need to institutionalize approaches to web services governance. Web services governance involves the development well-designed WS contracts and the means to test against those contracts. In this session, In this session, Mindreef's Mark Ericson will describe challenges to web services interoperability and introduce best practices, tools (including Mindreef's Coral and SOAPscope), and approaches to effective web services governance.
Mark Ericson has 18 years of full life-cycle software product development experience. Throughout most of his career he has been an object-technology and distributed systems innovator. His accomplishments include a patent (US6177932) and many industry firsts; the first MVC-based cross-platform GUI framework (C_talk/Views), the first object-based, extensible UI Shell (Workplace Shell), OpenDoc for Windows, and early adopter of Java on the server.
Previously Mark was Chief Architect, executive, and first employee at netDialog. There he created iCaretm, the first internet-architected eCRM suite.
Mark has been a participant or leader in many industry standards activities among them the OMG, CILabs, ebXML, JCP and W3C. As an active participant in the OMG Mark served a term as chair of the ORBOS task force, and was co-author or editor of many OMG specifications. He also contributed to early Java standards including Java Beans, RMI, Servlets, and JNDI.

Customer Perspectives on Integration (Panel Discussion)
The work of the HR-XML Consortium centers on exchanges between arms-length trading
partners. When systems are well integrated, technology and integration details
are invisible and may go unnoticed by customers. When systems don't communicate or
information is not optimally integrated, customers often must step in with ad hoc
or manual integration methodologies.
Members of the Twin City Electronic Recruiting Business Network will offer their
perspectives on how well integrated systems have improved their work and where
the data-sharing bottlenecks and integration problems still hamper recruiting efficiency.

Employee Performance Management Trends: Implications for
Integration (Panel Discussion)
Employee Performance Management (EPM) is one of the fastest-growing
segments of the HCM market. EPM solutions encompass a broad
range of functionality, including goal and objective management;
competency management; employee performance appraisal; assessment
management; manager self-service; learning management system
integration; succession planning integration; compensation
planning integration; position management; workflow; and reporting/analytics.
Considering the broad range of potential EPM functions and
the continuing and growing expectations in the marketplace
for seamless and real-time HR services delivery, the integration
of EPM solutions has rapidly become a priority.
This session will explore trends in the EPM, the scope of
integration requirements, and priorities for HR-XML standards
development.
