Cloud: SOA, Semantics, & Data Science

The Changing Landscape of Federal Information Technology

Featuring 15th SOA for E-Gov Conference

Federal organizations are racing to capitalize on social, mobile and cloud computing trends to provide solutions for their agency mission needs.  At the same time there is great pressure to spend less while improving capability, service, cost and flexibility.

This event is an open knowledge exchange forum for communities of practice in Cloud, SOA, Semantics, and Data Science.  It brings together thought leaders and experts from the federal and business communities to continue the conversation around best practices in advancing SOA, semantic technology and data science within the Cloud construct. 

The event builds on the successes of two previous events: the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) e-Government Conferences and the Department of Defense SOA and Semantic Technology Conferences.

This event is focused on SOA, Cloud Computing, Semantics Technology and Data Analytics. 

SOA uses data as a service, which in turn requires dealing effectively with semantics.  Data science is used to process and analyze the data for those semantics to extract information.  Given the recent pronouncement by Dominic Sale, OMB (invited Keynote) that "all content is data", this conference is especially timely and focused.

Presenters and panelists will examine the benefits of governance frameworks and approaches Federal agencies are pursuing to increase the maturity and efficiency of their SOA, Cloud, Semantic Technology and Data Science.

Your participation and suggested contributions are welcomed to continue to build and sustain this unique community of communities of practice to improve the delivery of government services in support of the US Federal Digital Government Strategy and Open Government Data Initiatives.

Join the conversation as we explore the experiences and benefits of SOA and Cloud in the Federal government discuss the use of semantic information integration and the Cloud for managing Big Data through case studies, panels and interactive presentations.
