The Open Group conference agenda for 2011 kicks off this Sunday in sunny San Diego with The Open Group Conference, San Diego. The well-known vendor-neutral standards group focuses on open standards and interoperability, SOA and more.
The main focuses for next week's event are cyber security, enterprise architecture - with an eye for business transformation - and - our favorites - SOA and the cloud. As always, skills certification programs related to TOGAF 9 will be a major draw.
In the cybersecurity cavalcade, Michael Ruiz, CTO, NEOS Deloitte Consulting, will describe the theoretical basis, design pattern, and integration challenges associated with a cyber incident response system. That session is entitled "Cyber Command and Control: A Military Doctrinal Prospective on Collaborative Situation Awareness for Decision Making."
