Since 2010, Russia has been implementing an e-government initiative, “Electronic Russia.” The goal of this initiative is to create and integrate the information systems of different government authorities and enable online data exchange. In support of this effort, the Saint-Petersburg Information and Analytics Center has built an open source integration layer to link together the government agencies’ many legacy systems. In her presentation at WSO2Con, Ms. Belkina described the objectives and challenges of the e-Government initiative, as well as the combination of home-grown software, WSO2 middleware, and other open source software used to implement the integration layer. Here are highlights from her talk. About the Speaker Since 2007 Maria Belkina has been working as a Java Programmer for an organization which is commited into developing software for e-Government not only in Saint-Petersburg, but in other parts of the country, too. Last year she started working as a project manager on a project that aims to create a fully functional infrastructure for providing state services to citizens on-line and integrating various information systems that are involved in these processes.

The Institute of Architecture of Application Systems (IAAS), based in Stuttgart, Germany, is one of Europe’s largest service-oriented architecture (SOA) and business process management (BPM) research institutes. In his presentation at WSO2Con 2011, Mr. Schumm described the institute’s research into optimizing BPM through the use of process views, as well as the Business Process Illustrator (BPI) tool that IAAS has developed to enable process instance monitoring. He also explained how implementing the WSO2 Carbon platform and WSO2 Business Process Server (BPS) helped IAAS to facilitate its research. Here are highlights from his talk. About the Speaker David Schumm is a Ph.D. student and Research Associate in computer science since 2008. His Ph.D. supervisor is Prof. Frank Leymann. David is focusing on managing complexity in service-oriented architectures and process-based applications. Before he started to work at university he gained professional experience at Hewlett-Packard in software development and at Bosch Security Systems in global marketing and e-communication.

This article is targeting enterprise architects who are building SOA-based solutions. It describes how generic patterns are mapped to WSO2 products for implementation.

Charitha Kankanamge - WSO2 Technical lead/Manager for Quality Assurance describes the steps to deploy WSO2 WSAS-3.X on Oracle WebLogic 10.3.

This article by Isuru Suriarachchi explains the overall architecture of WSO2 Carbon platform, and how it is designed on top of the OSGi framework.  Details on the execution processes related to starting and running Carbon are also included.

WSO2 Carbon Registry Kernel contains three main partitions of the Registry space. Those are namely Local Data Repository, Configuration Registry and Governance Registry. These three partitions are available on all the products based on WSO2 Carbon Platform, which allows to share resources and configuration replication.

Yumani Ranawera, Senior Software Engineer at WSO2 takes a step-by-step approach in deploying WSO2 Carbon 2.0.x in IBM WebSphere Application Server 6.1. WSO2 Carbon is a component based SOA platform which is based on Equinox and OSGi. It is the base platform for all Java products of WSO2. Built on OSGi, Carbon encapsulates major SOA functionality such as data services, business process management, ESB routing/transformation, rules, security, throttling, caching, logging and monitoring. All these major features can be plugged to the WSO2 Carbon based products, as components.

This tutorial will guide you on how you can work with Amazon AMI instances from command line instead of using any GUI interfaces like Elasticfox. Cloud computing is relatively a new technology that gives small to mid-size companies the computing power needed to compete in the market place without having to burden themselves with the high cost of purchasing additional computers, storage and all the extra equipment that is usually needed.

This brief tutorial outlines the basic steps that need to be followed to configure a WSO2 Carbon Framework based product and establish a secure JMS connection with Apache ActiveMQ. In here, we use the WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) as an example. The same procedure can be followed to configure any other product based on the WSO2 Carbon Framework.
