Speaking Opportunity

All,
 

I apologize if this is 
the wrong forum to send this email.  I am leading a track in an upcoming 
conference called "SOA for eGovernment 2007".  The conference will be held 1 – 2 
October in McLean, 
VA.  The title of my track is "SOA 
for Self-Healing Scale-out Storage and Computing Fabrics".  I plan to schedule 
three talks at 20 minutes each, followed by a panel 
discussion.

If anyone on this list 
would like to submit a proposal, feel free to do so.  While I am in a position 
to decide who presents, every effort will be made to accommodate all proposals. 
 Further, and perhaps moreover, time is short; so I need the proposals asap.  
Interested people should have their proposal emailed to me () by COB Friday, 31 
August. 

By way of background, I 
offer the following.  Service Component Architecture (SCA) is playing an 
essential role in my work with a company called Paremus.  They use SCA to build systems/services 
composed of OSGi bundles that are distributed across a logical/physical compute 
fabric.  Open CSA is a logically subsumes SCA to provide the larger model.  I 
think proposals that illustrate / discuss Open CSA as the larger SOA management 
/implementation model are completely relevant. 

As for conference 
details, I'm gaining familiarity myself; however, you can find most of the 
information about it at http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?SOAforEGovernment_2007_10_0102

Thank 
you!
