Two trends in applications architecture AJAX RIA (Rich Internet Applications) on the client side and service-orientation on the server side are enabling powerful enterprise solutions that can be leveraged in diverse business environments. This session will present best practices for developing SOA and AJAX RIA in parallel, focusing on design methodologies that take advantage of the synergies between the two. Attendees will learn how to publish/subscribe architectures, facilitate group development and enforce modular design patterns, what to look for in RIA toolkits, as well as how to best ensure feature-rich, high productivity end user applications.

Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) have evolved over the past few years out of the original vision of loosely coupled web services replacing constrained, stovepiped applications throughout enterprise IT. Every major enterprise technology vendor today has developed its own SOA strategy, supported by innumerable mid-size companies and start-ups offering specific SOA aspects or entire solutions. This explosive growth in SOA technology is in response to a global demand--IDC estimates that spending on SOA services alone will grow from $8.6 billion to more than $33 billion by 2010.
