The Pulse of OSLC

We’re only a few days away from the start of the IBM Pulse conference in Las Vegas and the Pulse Open Cloud Summit that takes place just before it. Both the main Pulse conference and the Open Cloud Summit will feature sessions delivered by Andreas Keis of the OSLC Steering Committee.

On Sunday, at the Pulse Open Cloud Summit, Andreas will be doing a joint presentation with Dave Webb, a Senior Developer at Orb Data. Andreas will share one of EADS’ experiences with using OSLC to enable their business process, and Dave will illustrate how Orb Data’s use of OSLC has simplifies how their Self-Service Portal (SSP) integrates with IBM Tivoli, and other, software.

On Tuesday, Andreas will join Dibbe Edwards, VP, IBM Rational Development, to take a deeper dive into another of EADS’ experiences with OSLC on the Pulse LiveStream! Dibbe will discuss a bit of the OSLC “big picture”, and share how Rational and Tivoli are using OSLC to enable DevOps and Cloud. As the name implies, you’ll be able to watch Andreas and Dibbe on the Pulse LiveStream! over the Internet. It will be featured on the conference front page when it is about to begin, i.e. 6 PM PST, Tuesday, March 5.

Here is a sample of some of the other conference sessions featuring OSLC (all times PST):

Cloud: Integration Simplified

Rethink IT. Write services once, deploy them into any cloud. Simplify integration of data and workflow. Leverage open source software that delivers a massively scalable cloud operating system. Hear about the latest technologies built by real customers to solve real business problems; Integration is simple with TOSCA, OSLC and OpenStack.

* In the Security Intelligence zone; all others in the Integration Center.

On developerWorks you can find a nice PDF of everything related to “Cloud Open Standards” at Pulse, including everything mentioned above. It also has a nice map of the Expo Hall to help you find the Integration Center, the Security Intelligence zone, and the Expo Theater (where Andreas and Dibbe are presenting).

If you’re attending IBM Pulse, I hope I will see you at some of these sessions and around the Expo Hall. If you’re not going, don’t miss Andreas and Dibbe speaking on the LiveStream!
