Apparently, our Top Cloud Computing Stories for May podcast was well-received, because David Linthicum invited me back to swap top stories for June. Check out our podcast.
Actually, I should say “Dave, Brenda and Zephyr’s podcast”, because Zephyr was insistent on being heard. I think he disagreed with one of my picks.
Anyway, after listening to the podcast, think about this: What will be the ‘Tang’ of cloud computing?
Are you going to IBM Innovate? The Rational Software Conference. Then plan to attend my session on Wednesday afternoon! I’m speaking with IBM’s Robert Shields on Business Architecture as a Foundation to Business Planning, Analysis and Change.
My part of the presentation, combines themes and outcomes from the SOA Consortium’s EA2010 group, with my own business architecture and enterprise architecture work and point-of-view. I’ve got something new I’m excited to share.
As always, expect a fair amount of business talk and definite traceability to business motivations.
If the session is anything like the planning call Robert and I had in May, the session could end with a (positive) call for Enterprise Architecture revolution!
The details:
Session: EAM-2259: Smarter Business Planning and Analysis: Business Architecture as a Foundation
Date/Time: Wed, 9/Jun, 03:00 PM – 04:00 PM
Room: Dolphin – Oceanic 7
Co-presenter(s): Robert Shields, IBM, Senior Market Manager, Enterprise Architecture, Brenda M. Michelson, Elemental Links
Hope to see you next week!
[Disclosure: IBM is not a client of Elemental Links. However, IBM is a sponsor of the BPM/SOA Consortium and the Business Ecology Initiative, which are clients.]
Each time I do a podcast, I can’t help but wonder, “Did I sound as though I had a clue? Or, like a rambling fool?”. Well, I guess I exhibited somewhat of a clue on Dave Linthicum’s post Cloud Connect podcast, because he invited me back to discuss top cloud computing stories for May. We recorded Friday morning, before I headed to the closing keynotes of IT Forum.
In choosing “top stories”, there weren’t any guidelines. Just 3 cloud computing stories we found interesting or important for the month of May. The only rule, was no sharing beforehand.
As for the results, we had one story in common, two mainstream stories (one each) and two wildcards (one each). The format was fun, so we’ll do another at the end of June.
I haven’t listened to it, so I’m not sure if my brain freeze trying to find the word “cannibalize” is in, or on the cutting room floor.
To listen to the podcast (16 minutes or so), go here.
On Friday, David Linthicum invited me on his cloud computing podcast to chat about what we heard, and didn’t hear, at the Cloud Connect conference. Naturally, our discussion wound its way to the connections of cloud computing, enterprise architecture, service-oriented architecture and data architecture.
Our podcast is Picking Apart Cloud Connect. Check it out.
Next week, I’m attending Gartner’s Application Architecture, Development & Integration Conference (AADI) in Vegas. I’ll be splitting my time amongst SOA, Cloud Computing and Event Processing sessions. I haven’t built my agenda yet, but I’ll definitely be at the SOA Consortium end-user panels on Cloud Computing Use Cases and SOA Success Stories.
When possible, I’ll be blogging and tweeting from the sessions. The conference twitter hashtag is #gartneraadi.
If you are attending and want to connect on SOA, Cloud Computing, SOA & Cloud Computing and/or Event Processing, please send me an email, or ping me on Twitter.
