The 11th International SOAWorld Conference & Expo 2007, colocated with the Second Annual Enterprise Open Source Conference, will take place on June 25-27, 2007 at the historical Roosevelt Hotel in New York City. SOA World Conference & Expo 2007 East and Enterprise Open Source Conference 2007 East together deliver the #1 i-technology educational and networking opportunity of the year.

Service-oriented architecture or SOA is a style of information systems architecture that enables the creation of applications that are built by combining loosely-coupled and interoperable services.

The interoperability element is key, as services need to work independent of the underlying platform and programming language, and at SOA World Conference & Expo 2007 East accordingly, there's a dedicated Interoperability track, just as we have four other highly-targeted tracks, comprising 75+ top-notch technical sessions and presentations.

Another recent driver of SOA adoption is AJAX since AJAX, Rich Internet Applications, and SOA are conceptually joined when it comes to business productivity applications. Far more than just a pretty face, AJAX actually helps extends the benefits of SOA across the enterprise.

"In 2007," Evdemon continues, "the tools and specifications we need for enterprise-strength, loosely-coupled solutions have finally arrived - it's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work."
