Gluecon - Denver

When: Wed May 26, 2010 to Thu May 27, 2010 

Where: Omni Interlocken Resort, Denver, CO
Event Status: confirmed
Event Description: As the "cloud" becomes a common platform, web applications still live in a "stovepipe" world. It's not a question of "should we move to the cloud?" It's a question of once some, or most, or all of our web applications live in the cloud, how do we handle the problems of scalability, security, identity, storage, integration and interoperability? What was the problem of "enterprise application integration" in the late 90s, is now the cambrian explosion of web-based applications that will demand similar levels of integration. The problem, put simply, is how to "glue" all of these apps, data, people, work-flows, and networks together. http://www.gluecon.com/2010/
