James brings to Composite Software 15 years of experience in software research and development in optimization and heuristic analysis. James comes to Composite from Ames Research Center, NASA's center of excellence for information technology, where he was responsible for almost 100 researchers. In stringent NASA-wide competitions in 2005, his teams won five major new awards totaling over $20 million. Prior to joining NASA, James led the Optimization team at i2 Technologies where he led a series of significant Joint Development Projects that gave 12 differentiated product capabilities. Before that, he worked at AT&T Bell Laboratories and co-founded the Computational Intelligence Research Laboratory (CIRL) at the University of Oregon. James has authored over fifteen papers in referred journals and conferences, and holds five patents. James holds PhD and Master's degrees in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin, and a BA in Math and Computer Science from Rice University.
IDC predicts that data services - services designed to access data in a
well-defined, modular fashion - will exceed the number of process services in
a service oriented architecture (SOA). The virtues of SOA are well
documented. Benefits include reuse and interoperability of services, enabling
IT to quickly and effectively meet business demands. However, these benefits
will only be realized if data services are designed and implemented according
to SOA principles of lose coupling, standards compliance, vendor neutrality,
and modularity. In addition, there are novel considerations, such as
protection of back-end data sources, that are not general SOA issues but are
critical attributes for data services.
This session will discuss key criteria for effective, efficient, and ... (more)
