FastSOA talk
Frank Cohen demonstrates building a service architecture implemented with native XML technologies (both commercial and open-source,) he will compare the effort to build the application with these tools, and he will demonstrate the performance of each using a load test of the implementations. Frank will show the design and test methodology for a new architecture he calls FastSOA and the results of a recently completed performance and scalability comparison of native XML tools.


Frank Cohen is the "go to" guy when enterprises need to build, test, and solve performance and scalability problems in complex inter-operating information systems. Frank's articles appear on IBM developerWorks, and he is author of FastSOA: The way to use native XML technology for SOA governance, scalability and performance (Morgan Kaufmann Publishers 2006) and Java Testing and Design: From Unit Tests to Automated Web Tests (Prentice Hall 2004.) He is the principal maintainer of the popular TestMaker open-source test utility and framework, and Director of Solutions Engineering at Raining Data, publisher of the TigerLogic XQuery engine and native XML database.
