An unpredictable state for enterprises becomes chronic in business environment, urging them to restructure for excellent capabilities in offense and defense. Overall optimization by establishing and merging rapid recognition, decision-making and implementation is essential.

The need for EA, BPM and SOA is increasing to improve this situation. Efforts targeting SOA in Japanese enterprises are moving from consideration to implementation, and advances and expansion toward BPM have been seen, with an increasing number of advanced enterprises seeing the effects of SOA and BPM application.

At SOA Summit 2008, we present recent trends, issues and practices around EA/BPM/SOA and related areas for building agile capability in both offense and defense.

2008 Symposium on Memory and Commemoration in Medieval England

Jul 15, 2008 - Jul 18, 2008,

This special symposium has two objectives: to celebrate the first quarter century of Harlaxton symposia and, secondly, to explore how people and events were commemorated or memorialised in medieval England. Invited speakers (including Professor Joel Rosenthal and Professor Derek Pearsall) will reflect on how research and publication in their own field has developed over the last twenty-five years. There will also be papers which consider the different forms that medieval commemoration might take, and the ways in which memory was formalised: this might be in glass windows, tomb inscriptions, naming patterns, books of hours, poems, chantry or college foundations, chronicles, pageants and processions. We hope to be able to organise a trip to see the chapel at Haddon Hall with its medieval glass, wall paintings and alabaster altar retable.

For the first time, the MSDG summer meeting comes to the University of Nottingham, following five successive and successful years in Fitzwilliam College Cambridge. In addition to all the activities of past summer meetings, this year's summer meeting is featured by about 25 oral presentations, two nights for social activities, and an industrial visit to E.ON at Ratcliffe on Soar.

As in recent years, the 2008 MSDG Summer Meeting will not have a formal theme, but papers on all areas of the science and technology of high and room temperature liquid salts are welcome. Authors of both oral and poster presentations are required to submit an abstract prior to the meeting, to be bound and distributed to attendees.

WYD08 will be the largest event Australia has ever hosted. It will attract over 125,000 international visitors - more than the 2000 Olympics.
