Abstract

A new software component architecture, the Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA), has emerged that offers the ability to programmatically access up-to-minute information anywhere in the world. Access to the right Information at the right time is the basis for knowledge building and the key for business performance.

In this talk, Dr. Wu will discuss the reasons why we need to embrace SOA today and how it changes the rules of software development and research. Dr. Wu will explain why Lisp, besides its root in AI, is the ideal programming language for this new SOA software architecture.

The talk concludes by describing some new Lisp tools for SOA web service programming and for knowledge building.
