Day One: Monday, 31st October - Rules, Workflow, SOA and EAI
10:00 - 11:00 : Session One
Bin packing with Drools Planner: scheduling processes on cloud servers
Geoffrey De Smet (JBoss, by Red Hat)
Given a set of servers with different hardware (CPU, memory and network bandwidth) and given a set of processes with different hardware requirements, how can we assign each process to a server and minimize the total cost of all the active servers? This is an "NP complete" bin packing problem. So how do we find an optimal solution in reasonable time? And what if we want to solve it in real-time? This session will walk you through the code, implemented in Drools Planner. It will compare different optimization algorithms by the total cost of their solutions. And it includes demo's of course. JBoss Drools Planner optimizes planning problems, such as employee rostering, appointment timetabling, task scheduling, vehicle routing and bin packing.

BPM(N) using jBPM5 and beyond
Kris Verlaenen (JBoss, by Red Hat)
A Business Process Management (BPM) suite offers you the capabilities to better manage and streamline your business processes. JBoss jBPM continues its vision in this area by offering a lightweight process engine for executing business processes in pure Java, combined with the necessary services and tooling to support business processes in their entire life cycle. This allows not only developers but also business users to manage your business processes more efficiently (using a combination of web-based and Eclipse-based tooling). A lot has happened in the BPM area over the last few years, with the introduction of the BPMN 2.0 standard, the increasing interest in more dynamic and adaptive processes, integration with business rules, event processing and other external services (e.g. SwitchYard), mobile BPM, BPM in the cloud (e.g. OpenShift), etc. Kris Verlaenen, the jBPM project lead, will show you how jBPM5 tackles these challenges.
Speaker Bio:
Kris Verlaenen leads the JBoss jBPM project and is also one of the core developers of the Drools project, which he started contributing to in 2006. After finishing his PhD in computer science in 2008, he joined JBoss full time and became the Drools Flow lead. He has a keen interest in the healthcare domain, one of the areas that has already shown to have a great need for a unified process, rule, and event processing framework.
12:15 - 13:15 : Session Three
Elastic SOA on the Cloud
Steve Millidge (C2B2)
We know JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform can deliver huge agility in developing new functionality through service reuse. However if our services become popular they may be subjected to massively increased client load from events we as service owners can not predict.With the massive return on investment gained in deployment of private clouds using technologies such as Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization it is now possible to combine SOA-P with JBoss Operations Network to elastically scale out your Service Deployments in response to real time load increases.
This session will take a technical deep dive into the current JBoss SOA-P product and explore these questions.
- How can I monitor the load on my Services using JBoss Operations Network?
- How can I fire up additional compute capacity as a service becomes loaded?
- How do I architect my SOA-P deployment to utilise the power and flexibility of a private or public cloud?
- How do I deploy UDDI to ensure clients can fully utilise new capacity?
- How can I see what is happening on my ESB infrastructure?
This session is for architects and developers who have moved beyond playing with SOA-P and are looking to deploy SOA-P into production. The session may not answer all your questions but you will learn from somebody who has been there and got the T-Shirt.

10:00 - 11:00 : Session One
Arquillian - The Extendable Enterprise Test Platform
Aslak Knutsen (JBoss, by Red Hat)
Arquillian is the missing link in Java EE development. Developers have long had to fend for themselves in the testing stage, burdened with bootstrapping the infrastructure on which the test depends. That's time lost, and it places a high barrier to entry on integration testing. Arquillian tears down that barrier. Arquillian is a container-oriented test framework. It picks up where unit tests leave off, targeting the integration of application code inside a real runtime environment. Just as Java EE 5 simplified the server programming model by providing declarative services for POJOs, Arquillian equips tests with container lifecycle management and enrichment. This talk will go behind the scenes of Arquillian, lift up the curtain and unveil the Extendable Enterprise Test Platform. We'll look at how you can take advantage of the test platforms infrastructure to fit your testing needs. We'll show you how to write extension so you can: - Give your test classes new capabilities - Manipulate the packaging process - Hide testing framework integration complexity - Integrate into the test runners lifecycle - Integrate with existing test runners - Create your own Container
Speaker Bio(s):

BoxGrinder: Your Appliances in the Cloud
Marc Savy (JBoss, by Red Hat)
BoxGrinder is a set of tools that help you grind out appliances: preconfigured disk images with the operating system and requisite software ready to run on a selected virtualization platform. With a simple text definition file and a single command BoxGrinder will build a lean appliance from scratch, convert it to a target format, and deliver it to your chosen infrastructure. Virtualization has become almost ubiquitous in modern scalable infrastructures, with traditional dedicated hardware setups being replaced by multi-tenanted virtual environments. This change facilitates many of the beneficial properties of Cloud Computing, key amongst which is the ability to create small, function-specific appliances that enables system components to scale independently. BoxGrinder addresses the key problem of specifying and building such appliances. It manages complexities such as software installation, dependency resolution and remote service interactions on your behalf. Existing methods can an arduously convoluted, with poor repeatability and performance characteristics; wasting time and resulting in slow and bloated appliances. Such factors negate many of the motivating factors for embracing Cloud computing, and this is an obstacle that BoxGrinder is specifically designed to overcome. Coherent and simple to specify and run; yet fast to build and easily customised to any desired level of complexity. In this session we will cover the basic concepts of BoxGrinder, with discussion of techniques and use-cases that illustrate how best to utilise BoxGrinder's powerful feature-set. Finally, we will work through a live example, from text definition to a running virtual appliance.

TorqueBox - Where Ruby meets CDI
Marek Goldmann (JBoss, by Red Hat)
There are now quite a few programming languages available on the Java platform (JVM), which has been the case for quite a while. This allows developers to pick the language best suited to their application's needs without sacrificing the power and stability of the JVM. We're not losing the advantages of the JVM by choosing a language other than Java, but what do we gain? For more expressive JVM languages, we can develop faster, and bring back some of the joy of programming. Ruby is a popular and powerful programming language. It owes its success (and power) to its clean and expressive syntax. Why not take advantage of its power and create a system where pretty applications can be run on a very stable and scalable environment? Meet TorqueBox. TorqueBox is the first real application server for Ruby. It allows you to run multiple applications based on Rack (Rails, Sinatra) on the JBoss Application Server. Big deal you say. In reality TorqueBox is much more. Many enterprise-class services offered by JBoss AS such as messaging (JMS) and scheduled jobs are fully available to applications written in Ruby. It is even possible to inject Java EE 6 components like CDI beans into Ruby. Engine written in EJB, front-end in Rails? And everything clustered? Why not! In this session you'll learn how to connect various Java components (CDI beans, message queues) with a simple Rails application.
Speaker Bio(s):
Marek Goldmann joined Red Hat in January 2009 and started hacking on Cloud-related JBoss projects. He currently leads BoxGrinder - a tool for creating appliances for various virtual platforms.

Racing JBoss AS7 bootup across clouds
Adrian Cole (CloudSoft)
Developers want to release code as fast as possible. Compute clouds want developers to release code to them. This is a story about how these two goals converge.
The jclouds project formerly used JBoss AS6 to perform functional testing of compute clouds. We felt running an application server is a pretty useful model for what developers look to achieve. When we moved to JBoss AS7, we were expecting a relatively smooth update. In reality, we found a surprising performance story!
This presentation will review performance considerations when deploying application servers across multiple cloud providers. We'll discuss to install, bootstrap, and reboot time that affect your agility with real numbers on over a dozen compute clouds like Amazon EC2.
This is a no-hype talk: when you leave, you'll know how to make your own jclouds tests to test your cloud deployment of choice.
Speaker Bio(s):
Adrian founded the open source project jclouds in March 2009, following 15 years of production engineering and deployment automation in financial services, health care, hosting, and education contexts.

Weld-OSGi: Injecting easyness in OSGi
Mathieu Ancelin (SERLI)
Originally created for embedded and mobile appliances, OSGi has become a widespread foundation for building modular and dynamic applications on top of the Java platform. Despite its maturity and proven track record, OSGi is more than often referred to as a source of significant complexity for no actual benefits. In this presentation, we will show you how OSGi, CDI and Weld nicely fit together in Weld-OSGi to assemble regular and dynamic components with no added complexity on the developer side. The agenda of the presentation is the following : - CDI, a really nice tech. for Java EE environments - ... and more ? - OSGi, deep dive into a modular and dynamic world - Meet Weld-OSGi - Weld-OSGi design - Features and programming model - Pro and cons - Back to the future ! - Demo: real life app with Weld-OSGi - Conclusion First part of the presentation is about CDI technology, how you can use this amazing piece of tech. inside and outside Java EE containers with Weld and how Weld wasn't yet available for OSGi environment despite its amazing assets. Then the Weld-OSGi framework will be presented after a small summary about OSGi platform. We'll see how the framework is designed and how it enhances standard OSGi bundles with the power of CDI. Each major feature of the framework will be simply explained with short examples. We'll also see how you can benefit from this framework in your modular applications. We will present the future of the Weld-OSGi framework and how we plan to enhance it and integrate it with other techs. Then the presentation will end on a real life app. demo written with Weld-OSGi.

Rapid Enterprise Programming: Testable Development with AS7 and Arquillian
Andrew Lee Rubinger (JBoss, by Red Hat)
This presentation unveils the missing link in enterprise Java development: simple, portable integration tests. We'll introduce a solution in the first half of the session and demonstrate it in the second.
Unit tests and mocks get you only so far. Eventually you need to verify that your components operate and interact correctly in their intended environment you need integration tests. Yet writing integration tests has meant taking on the barrier of bootstrapping the necessary infrastructure.
Arquillian, a container-oriented testing framework built on TestNG and JUnit, tears down this barrier. It enables you to write portable tests that invoke real components using real enterprise services in a real runtime. In other words, you can write real tests.
And with JBoss AS7, getting your code fired up and running has never been faster. This latest rebirth of the Application Server is the leanest, most efficient we've seen yet.
