"In this presentation, I will examine the proper ways to design, build, and leverage cloud computing systems as well as steps to success, emerging best practices, and how SOA fits in," Linthicum said.  "In this session, I'll cover the right and wrong ways to leverage, design, and build cloud-based systems and infrastructure. The audience is anyone who will soon fight to make cloud computing work for their clients, employers, and/or investors, and need to knock it out of the park the first time."

Linthicum is the author of "Cloud Computing and SOA Convergence – A Step-by-Step Guide," published in 2009, which is the book that many regard as the "cook book" for cloud computing migrations and new system deployments.    He has also authored and coauthored over 15 books on technology, and the Cloud Computing Blogger at InfoWorld.    Linthicum was CTO of both SAGA Software and Mercator Software, who were both major players in the technology space, and has served as a board member and CEO for many different technology companies.
