Location: St. John's University - 101 Murray Street, NY, NY

Agenda: Details to be added as we get closer to the date of the event.

Keynote:
Oracle Soa Suite 11g - A Foundation Building Block For Oracle's Next Generation Fusion Applications

This session provides an overview of the upcoming SOA Suite, and introduces the concepts behind it, such as Service Component Architecture and how it simplifies the end-to-end lifecycle management of SOA composite applications. Application designers can now design, package, version, and manage their SOA composite applications (Web services, BPEL, Enterprise Service Bus flows, and the like) as one single entity - and make it easily available for reuse while managing it as one. This session will also discuss the challenges around data and component integration we face while building fusion applications - and provide you with the concepts needed to get ready for Fusion.

Clemens Utschig works for the SOA Product Management team at Oracle Headquarters, CA. As a native Austrian, he started his career years back at the local consulting branch, helping customers defining their next generation J2EE and SOA architectures. Later he founded the local Java Community to spread knowledge and help consulting teams with the uptake of Java for new projects. During his consulting years, he spent a year in switzerland doing crisis management for a large scale program, in Dubai helping on ADFBC issues for the government and doing workshops all around Europe. Since his transfer some 2 years ago into the Product Management group, Clemens is responsible for cross product integration - and these days the advisor for SOA to Oracle Fusion Applications development, which builds the next generation standard software suite, as well as an advisory member of the Applications Architecture Board. He is a frequent speaker at worldwide conferences (Oracle Open World, JAX, OOP, ODTUG) and published countless articles in known industry journals on SOA and related challenges.

6:00pm -  7:00pm  Getting Started Forecasting Oracle Performance

There is a DBA community focused on answering "what if" types of questions known as forecasting, capacity planning, and resource management; for example, "When will my server run out of CPU power?"  Introducing DBAs to this new world has been challenging because of the perceived complexity and non-relevance.  However, I discovered with a very real yet simple demonstration that "ah ha" moments abounded!  What DBAs discovered was the math can be simple, the required data has already been collected, they can quickly do what I demonstrated, and it is shockingly practical!  My objective with this paper is to quickly allow DBAs of all levels to get a practical start with forecasting Oracle performance using freely available tools.

7:00pm - 7:45pm About Oracle's In-Memory Undo

The Oracle database is extremely complex software. Part of the solution to performance optimization is Oracle Corporation itself optimizing the core database kernel code. One such optimization is the introduction of Oracle's patented In-memory undo (IMU). Essentially, instead of maintaining undo in Oracle segments, the undo is managed, as much as possible, in memory, using structures optimized for in-memory operations. How Oracle does this is fascinating and foreshadows even greater things to come. But with any piece of code, there is always the possibility of a bottleneck, so this presentation covers how to detect IMU performance issues and multiple ways to potentially solve the problem (in addition to just tuning it off).

Craig Shallahamer is a researcher, writer, and teacher for thousands of DBAs on six continents in 22 countries. During his nine years with Oracle Corporation, he co-founded the Core Technologies and the System Performance Groups. He also began his publishing career with over 23 technical papers and authored the book, Forecasting Oracle Performance. He is the author and creator of the popular Oracle Performance Firefighting and Forecasting Oracle Performance courses. Craig is a passionate educator, a pinnacle of Oracle knowledge, and an engaging instructor. His entertaining presentation style complements his depth of Oracle experience to make each class unique. OraPub, Inc., www.training.orapub.com the training and consulting company he founded in 1998, is celebrating 10 years of service to Oracle professionals.

TOPIC: Star Transformation & Optimization
This presentation illustrates how to utilize the Star Schema for performance advantages leveraging "Star Query Transformation" vs. the traditional Third Normal Form Snowflake schema. Mike will explain how the Oracle Optimizer prunes a query's result set with its conversion of many logical joins into a single operation using Bitmap Indexes. He will also answer the question of why Bitmaps should not just be used for low cardinality and are up to 100 times faster than traditional indexes.

PRESENTER:
Michael Richards
Mike Richards is an Oracle Subject Matter Expert who has worked with Oracle since Version 6. He has over fifteen years of Data Architecture, DBA, Infrastructure Architecture, Business Analysis & Project Management experience with Oracle Enterprise Data Warehouse methodology, data encryption & expert systems.
