WORD!

• Web 2.0 patterns port to Enterprise
• Web 2.0 Design patterns -gt AIR/Flex Design
  patterns
• Future internet is an open web built on open
  standards/source (Tamarin, Webkit, Flex SDK, PDF,
  XML, HTML.)
• Architects/Developers/Designers/Suits work closer
  than ever before.
• Adobe, Macromedia work for developers (you)
• Thank you!

Supplemental Slides

• What is SOA?

22
Before we talk about SOA and where we want to go
S.O.A.

• The tough questions
• If SOA is architecture, how do we express it as
  architecture?
• Is it sufficiently different from other types of
  architecture?
• If SOA is X, what is !(SOA X ) ?

23
So what is SOA exactly? (definition from OASIS)

• An Architectural Paradigm for organizing and
  using distributed capabilities that may be under
  the control of different ownership domains.
• A framework for matching needs and capabilities.
• A view of architecture focusing on Services as
  a mechanism to allows interactions between those
  with needs and capabilities.

24

Core SOA

Applications, ECM, DB,
In a layer diagram, layer n is only visible to
layers (n 1) and (n 1)
26
Web 2.0 Patterns

• Patterns a general repeatable solution to a
  commonly occurring problem.
• Patterns can be repurposed across multiple
  domains and used to solve recurring problems
  there within.
• (enterprise, P2P, Client server, Online gaming)
• Example Collaborative Tagging (aka Folksonomy).
• Can be used for audio files, video files, text
  files, binaries, people
• So how to we express patterns?

So what is SOA exactly? (definition from OASIS)

• An Architectural Paradigm for organizing and
  using distributed capabilities that may be under
  the control of different ownership domains.
• A framework for matching needs and capabilities.
• A view of architecture focusing on Services as
  a mechanism to allows interactions between those
  with needs and capabilities.

33
Pattern Persistent Rights Management (Problem
statement)

• Lack persistent access controls to prevent
  information re-distribution
• Cannot dynamically change rights/access after
  distribution

Recipient
Author
File System
Secure Pipe Approach
Access Control Approach
34
Pattern Persistent Rights Management

• Wrap and encrypt the digital asset.
• Wrapper is linked to a policy
• Without complying with policy, asset cannot be
  opened/rendered.
• Policy wrappers are in-alienable from assets
• Owners can dynamically change policies on assets
• Multiple known implementations (MS RMS, Adobe
  LiveCycle, Navisware).

Agenda

• Methodology
• Dissecting Web 2.0 by Example
• Models for Web 2.0
• Reference Architecture
• What architects and developers need to consider
• Adobes technology platform Architecture
• Enabling the patterns of Web 2.0, SOA and EDA
• Wrap up

39
Web 2.0 is where the IT world going

• Major disruption. Has started.
• No definition. Does it need one?
• So what is it (really)?
• Which software vendors are relevant? Hint who
  built the first internet?

Web 2.0 is the network as platform, spanning all
connected devices an ecosystem for
communicating, connecting, collaborating and
creatively expressing ideas and information in
revolutionary new ways
