Apache Tuscany: Not the Same Old Architecture
Jim Marino, Jeremy Boynes and Merraj Kunnumpurath

Do you think of the popular term SOA as the "Same Old Architecture" concept?

The Apache Tuscany Project moves SOA (Service Oriented Architecture) beyond buzzwords and into reality. The project aims to create a next-generation services infrastructure in open source based Service Component Architecture (SCA). With Apache Tuscany, application developers will be able to create, assemble, and deploy service networks in ways that are not easily done or possible with existing middleware. This talk covers how Apache Tuscany simplifies the task of creating and assembling service-based applications using SCA.The talk will also cover where the Tuscany project is headed and how it will help developers build tomorrow's applications today, with an emphasis on real-world scenarios .
