Next Generation Application Platform: A New Development Approach
Businesses must respond to increasing pressure to modernize their applications, increase return on investment of IT, and improve service levels. New application platform technology such as Cloud and Virtualization combined with new application architectures such as SOA and application servers can help. But application developers must adopt newer approaches to development if they are to meet the business requirements and cope with a new wave of technology. Among these approaches are model driven development and the use of application metadata across the lifecycle. Dr. Short will provide an overview of Microsoft's plans in these areas
Model Driven Development and Application Metadata
In this session, Dr. Short will explain how model driven development can assist developers building modern applications. Models are one kind of application metadata, which if managed effectively in a database, can bring substantial benefit across the lifecycle from requirements to monitoring развернутых applications

Improving Software Economics, Achieving Agility at Scale
Abstract: The world is becoming more dependent on software delivery efficiency and world economies are becoming more dependent on producing software with improved economic outcomes. What we have learned over decades of advancing systems and software development best practice is that successful software production involves more of an economics mindset than an engineering discipline when it comes to managing software delivery projects. Most organizations that depend on software are struggling to transform their life-cycle model from a development focus to a delivery focus. This subtle distinction in wording represents a dramatic change in the principles that are driving the management philosophy and the governance models. A software development orientation focuses on the various activities required in the development process, while a software delivery orientation focuses on the results of that process.
Organizations that have successfully made this transition—perhaps 30-40% by our estimate—have recognized that engineering discipline is trumped by economics discipline in most software-intensive endeavors. Day-to-day decisions in software projects have always been, and continue to be, dominated by: value judgments, cost tradeoffs, human factors, macro-economic trends, technology trends, market circumstances, and timing. Software project activities are less concerned with engineering disciplines such as mathematics, material properties, laws of physics, or established and mature engineering models. The primary difference between economics and engineering governance is the amount of uncertainty inherent in the product under development. The honest treatment of uncertainty is the foundation of today’s best practices; we have learned over and over that what makes a software practice better or best is that the practice reduces uncertainty in the target outcome.

Get ready for Cloud Computing. Private Cloud
Cloud computing – modern trend in IT and software development providing elastic scalability, dynamic on demand resources allocation and could free developers from dealing with infrastructure issues if right platform is chosen. Application architecture traditionally satisfies numerous requirements such as scalability, reliability, manageability and security. Potential shift to cloud computing is one more requirement that should be satisfied on early planning and technology selection phase. Ideally application should be easily moved back and forth between on-premise datacenter and the cloud platform. Also application must be cloud-friendly, support modern authentication and authorization technologies, provide multi-tenant user access, be service-oriented and integrate with information systems remained on-premise. Best practices of architecting cloud-friendly will improve your application quality and reliability even if you won’t plan tomorrow migration to the cloud. Is it possible and how? This questions will be answered in this session useful for architects and developers thinking about building cloud apps.

Heterogeneous Development: Including database applications development in ALM process
Oracle database development can now be part of the Application Lifecycle Management process. This includes using of same source control system repository, change management as well as the process tracking and reporting. Nowadays, project velocity is the very important aspect of the software development. To keep product quality and maintainability on the highest level, it necessary to use such techniques such as refactoring, static code analysis and others. Now this can be applied to the Oracle database development as well.

Making distributed agile work
Distributed or virtual teams are a reality of modern software development. Outsourcing, multiple offices, flex-work schedules are among factors that result in new forms of cooperation that reaches across physical and cultural boundaries. Agile development strongly endorses team collocation while offering many potential benefits, including hyperproductivity, elimination of waste and rapid releases. Can these benefits be realized when team members are not in the same room?
Grigori has been leading distributed teams for several years, both at Microsoft and beyond. In this talk, he will share his experience and lessons learnt. He'll focus on key challenges of distribution and the ways to reduce its impact. He'll support his recommendations by not only his personal experience but also other industrial case studies and empirical data.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM – platform for rapid development of business applications
Any Enterprise faces issues in managing somebody or something. For example, partner management, fleet management, etc. There are two common ways to solve these issues – buy solution or build this solution using own team. But sometimes development from the scratch is not the best solution. It’s more suitable to use something like "Framework" to build solution based on this platform. This approach allows us to decrease development costs and time and simplify end-user training. During this presentation we’ll speak about Microsoft Dynamics CRM as a rapid business application development framework, consider components of this framework and discuss how this solution can be incorporated into Enterprise Architecture.
