Background
In 2009, the DoD SOA Symposium demonstrated that SOA must be considered a Team Sport - involving all elements of people, process and technology, and highlighting the necessity of Trust. The 2010 Symposium highlighted that individual and team Discipline is critical to making SOA a successful reality. The theme was Discipline, Teamwork and Semantic Technologies.
This 3rd Annual SOA & Semantic Technology Symposium focuses on the technology and standards required to drive semantic interoperability and realize IT efficiencies within the Department of Defense and beyond.
