Today enterprise application integration (EAI) best practices are based on service-oriented architecture (SOA) principles and a flexible, highly capable enterprise service bus (ESB). In a one-day workshop for IT architects and developers, WSO2 technology executives will explore how to successfully implement a service broker pattern for connectivity, mediation, process orchestration, and security with an ESB model.

The workshop, “WSO2 Integration Platform Discovery,” which runs 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m., is being held in the following location: Colombo, Wednesday, August 22, 2012, to register, visit: http://wso2.com/events/workshops/2012-august-colombo-wso2-integration-platform-discovery-workshop

The workshop is designed for IT architects and developers seeking to obtain a high-level architectural understanding of how ESBs fit within an SOA. It will explore how enterprises can connect, mediate, orchestrate and manage interactions between application integration consumers and providers using the WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus in conjunction with other components of the WSO2 Carbon enterprise middleware platform. Workshop session topics will include: An overview of ESB architecture, the role of an ESB within an SOA, and the benefits of loosely coupled application architectures.
