Th e events will take place at the Microsoft Innovation Centre (103 Vas. Sofi as Av.\, tube station: Megaro Mousikis). \nDon’t forget to bring your to ugh architectural questions for our panel of experts !\nAgenda \n09:30 - 10:00 Registrations \n10:00 - 11:15 Locating and addressing performance issues: From software to hardware architecture - Διομήδης Σπιν έλλης \n Abstract: The ever increasing size of data sets\, the adopti on of sophisticated software stacks\, the large storage access latencies\, and the stagnation in the processor clock speeds are making performance a n increasing worry for developers. In this tutorial we will see how we ca n locate the source of performance problems and ways to solve them. We wi ll work top-down\, looking first on why we might care about performance\, where our software spends its time\, and how we can identify those trouble spots. Depending on the type of workload we’re facing\, we will then e xamine specific tools we can use to drill-down towards the architectural s ource of the problem and solve it. Areas we will examine\, include networ k performance\, the overhead of operating system calls\, disk input/output \, specific program constructs and algorithms. \n11:15 - 11:30 Break \n11 :30 - 12:45 Modeling in the Enterprise with Microsoft "Oslo" – Νατά σα Μανουσοπούλου \n Abstract: Modeling is recognized as a k ey success factor for the strategic move of the enterprise towards dynamic IT. "Oslo"\, Microsoft’s set of modeling technologies\, provides the or ganization with a toolset that enables building\, sharing and visualizing models across departments and roles. The talk will provide an overview of application modeling with "Oslo"\, from the high level definition of model s using the “M” language\, through model metadata management in the Re pository\, to domain specific languages and their practical applications. \n12:45 - 13:45 Lunch Break \n13:45 - 15:00 Reliability\, Availability\, and Scalability - Have your cake and eat it too - Udi Dahan \n Abstract: A rchitects love the word “scalability”. We talk about transactions per second and page views per day and on and on. Of course\, none of that scal ability means anything if the system is down or if data gets lost or corru pted. Finding the right balance between reliability\, availability\, and s calability for the various parts of a system is critical to avoid unnecess arily costly solutions. This presentation will show a set of patterns that strikes this balance\, their connection to supporting technologies\, and their applicability across many enterprise domains. You can have it all. \ n15:00 - 15:15 Break \n15:15 - 16:15 Panel: Γιώργος Μαρίνο ς (Εθνική Τράπεζα)\, Παναγιώτης Καναβός (DN Z) \n16:15 - 16:30 Q&A \n \nSpeakers' Bios \nDiomidis Spinellis \nDiomid is Spinellis is a Professor in the Department of Management Science and Te chnology at the Athens University of Economics and Business\, Greece.
