Architecture Innovation and Middleware Evolution
IT Architecture has matured tremendously in the years since Zachman introduced his now-famous framework – and there is no end in sight for innovative new practices in the areas of enterprise architecture, business architecture, application architecture, software architecture, or any other variant.
Similarly, the middleware technologies which enable these new architectures has also evolved tremendously with many of the vendors that existed 10 years ago being absorbed by industry juggernauts and a new breed of middleware solutions emerging in their place. As the keynote presentations suggest, the web itself may now be viewed as both architecture and as integration middleware.The combination of relentless architectural innovation and new middleware solutions has created a truly transformational opportunity. IT professionals that participate in the summit will benefit from insights on how to survive and thrive in the new environment.
