Genentech, one of the world's leading biotech companies, has established an Integration Competency Center (ICC). The ICC is a cross-functional group that provides data integration solutions for the enterprise using Enterprise Information Integration (EII), enterprise service bus (ESB), and ETL technologies. The ICC works with subject matter experts in each functional group to lead integration efforts that build on past successes and leverage technology investments across multiple projects.
A key architectural component of the Genentech ICC is JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform. It provides a way for Genentech to expose enterprise information to a variety of applications via standards-based interfaces. By federating various data sources into cohesive data models, the data services can be reused across functional areas or customized for new applications, with little or no additional effort.
In this presentation Genentech's Mani Pollachi Subramanyam (enterprise information integration engineer) and Red Hat's Mike Walker, Senior Consultant, Red Hat Global Professional Services, will demonstrate how Genentech uses the JBoss Enterprise Data Services Platform to build low-cost, high-quality, reusable data services that are easy to implement and maintain.

Java Platform, Enterprise Edition (Java EE) 6 introduces several changes including profiles, pruning, Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) 3.1, and Java Contexts and Dependency Injection (JCDI) 1.0. In order to make educated choices for adoption and integration, one must understand how the widely-used Spring Framework aligns with Java EE 6.
In this presentation Reza Rahman, an independent consultant and member of the Java EE 6 expert group, will compare and contrast the Spring Framework with Java EE 6. He will focus on key areas, which include: the component development model, dependency injection, aspects oriented programming, persistence, web services, messaging, security, and scheduling.
Beyond application programming interface (API) features, Rahman's analysis will take a holistic view in covering concerns such as ease-of-use, learning curve, flexibility, administration, portability, tools, and vendor support.

All enterprise applications hit bottlenecks as they begin to scale. Many times these bottlenecks can be traced to the interaction between the application and the database. Hibernate was designed to easily abstract this interaction from Java developers which has led to its popularity, but in doing so, has caused a rift between developers and database administrators in many organizations. In this session, you will learn how developers and database administrators can work together to break through many application bottlenecks. Topics will include fetching strategies and HQL from the Hibernate side as well as data model and configuration changes from the database side.

Collaborative Research Information Exchange (CRIX), a collaborative platform to streamline clinical trials within the pharmaceutical industry, was developed using predominantly open source software, including: JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform, JBoss Seam and Richfaces, JBoss jBPM, JBoss Hibernate, and Alfresco.
CRIX provides a common infrastructure and suite of services that will accelerate and streamline the interaction between sponsors of new drug products, their business partners, research institutions, academia, health care providers, and health authorities involved in bringing new therapies to patients throughout the world. The platform is funded and sponsored by many of the largest pharmaceutical companies. To help design and build the platform, CRIX partnered with Rivet Logic Corporation, Red Hat Advanced Business Partner and the winner of the 2008 JBoss Innovator of the Year award.
In this presentation Alaaeldin El-Nattar, a principal architect at Rivet Logic Corporation, will describe how JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform serves as the foundation of CRIX as it enables the integration of several key systems (e.g., an Alfresco content management system, document workflow, electronic signature, strong user authentication and authorization, etc.). El-Nattar will discuss how JBoss provides CRIX with a standards-based application platform for third party software developers to build value-added applications upon the CRIX platform. He will also describe an open source community contribution that Rivet Logic has developed to simplify the integration of JBoss Enterprise Portal Platform with the Alfresco content management platform.
