WSO2 Summer School Features Free Class on End-to-End Governance in the Enterprise

Webinar-based training on June 15, 2011 explores strategies and advantages of implementing governance practices at varying levels.

2011-06-08

PALO ALTO, CA, June 08, 2011 (Press-News.org) Service-oriented architecture (SOA) governance allows businesses to effectively manage the consistency, predictability, change and interdependencies of services. However, no single governance product is comprehensive enough to address the multiple elements of an enterprise SOA. Instead, IT professionals need to implement an end-to-end governance strategy, applied at varying levels of an SOA project and utilizing a range of technologies. This approach provides a stable solution to complex policies and redundant services by maximizing the quality and trust within a service network.

IT architects and developers can learn how to significantly improve governance practices and productivity by attending the interactive online class, "End-to-End Governance in the Enterprise." The two-hour session is being offered at no cost as a part of the WSO2 SOA Summer School program (http://wso2.org/training?060811g). It will be held on Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 9:00 a.m. Pacific. To participate, register at http://tinyurl.com/governance-school.

The End-to-End Governance class will:

* Discuss governance strategies and how to apply supporting standards at varying levels.

* Examine design-time governance, including service design and development, metadata management, and project governance.

* Explore runtime governance, including supervision, control, and service versioning.

* Review governance patterns and how they support different SOA use cases.

Leading the class are Sumedha Rubasinghe, WSO2 architect and senior manager of WSO2 governance and tools (http://wso2.com/about/team/sumedha-rubasinghe?060811g), and Senaka Fernando, WSO2 associate technical lead and product manager of the WSO2 Governance Registry (http://wso2.com/about/team/senaka-fernando?060811g). In addition to their track record in product innovation, Sumedha and Senaka both bring proven expertise in helping WSO2 enterprise customers to successfully manage governance practices in the enterprise.

New data still have scientists in dark over dark matter

2011-06-08

A dark-matter experiment deep in the Soudan mine of Minnesota now has detected a seasonal signal variation similar to one an Italian experiment has been reporting for more than a decade. The new seasonal variation, recorded by the Coherent Germanium Neutrino Technology (CoGeNT) experiment, is exactly what theoreticians had predicted if dark matter turned out to be what physicists call Weakly Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPs). "We cannot call this a WIMP signal. It's just what you might expect from it," said Juan Collar, associate professor in physics at the University ...

Potential treatment for deadly E. coli disease

2011-06-08

A potential life-saving treatment for severe E. coli food poisoning outbreaks – developed more than a decade ago – hasn't gone forward into clinical trials because of lack of commercial interest. University of Adelaide researchers produced a "designer" probiotic bacterium which binds and neutralises the toxin produced by E. coli, which causes life-threatening attack on the kidneys and blood vessels. The team of scientists – Dr Adrienne Paton, Associate Professor Renato Morona and Professor James Paton – showed that mice infected with a highly virulent strain of E. coli ...

Study finds bankruptcy rates among cancer patients increase along with survival time

2011-06-08

CHICAGO — June 6, 2011 — An analysis linking federal bankruptcy court records to cancer registry data from nearly 232,000 adult cancer cases in western Washington during a 14-year period has found a hidden cost to survival: Insolvency rates increase along with the length of survival. "Patients diagnosed with cancer may face significant financial stress due to income loss and out-of-pocket costs associated with their treatment," said Scott Ramsey, M.D., Ph.D., a health care economist and internist at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center who led the study. "On average, ...

Prolonging life carries more weight

2011-06-08

Los Angeles, CA (May 26, 2011) Doctors are more apt to recommend a more costly therapy to patients if it were determined to prolong the patient's life rather than just improve quality, according to a recent study from Medical Decision Making (published by SAGE). Using a survey of the decision-making process, authors were able obtain data to determine the relative importance oncologists place on quantity of life compared to quality of life in chemotherapy decisions. From this, they found a significant majority of respondents (71.8%) illustrated a greater value they placed ...

Many patients with advanced cancers get treatments that won't help

2011-06-08

A study of more than 1,000 patients with colon cancer that had spread to distant sites found that one in eight was treated with at least one drug regimen that was not recommended. Those patients were exposed to significant risk without proven benefits, at an estimated cost—just for the drugs—of more than $2 million. The study, presented June 7, 2011, by University of Chicago researchers at the American Society for Clinical Oncology's annual meeting in Chicago, focused on three chemotherapy regimens that were not supported by evidence from prior clinical studies or clinical ...

BERN, SWITZERLAND (7 JUNE 2011)—A comprehensive assessment of tropical forest management reports a 50 percent increase in the area of tropical forest under sustainable management in just five years, but cautions that key drivers of that increase—growing demand for certified timber and funding for climate change initiatives—could have only a marginal impact in the long-term. Drawing on detailed data on each of the 33 countries that together control almost all of the world's tropical rainforests and tropical timber production, the report released today by the Japan-based ...

Mapping anemia risk in preschool-age children in West Africa

2011-06-08

In this week's PLoS Medicine, Ricardo Soares Magalhães and Archie Clements, from the University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia, describe how they used national cross-sectional household-based demographic health surveys to map the distribution of anaemia risk in preschool-age children in Burkina Faso, Ghana, and Mali. The use of such maps has significant practical implications for targeted control of anaemia in these countries, such as guiding the efficient allocation of nutrient supplements and fortified foods, and contributing to the planning and evaluation of resource ...
