Devoxx Day Five and summary

Last day already. First about the sessions I followed:

1. "BPM on a SOA environment" The difference I noticed earlier between BPM & BPEL, has a name, the difference between managed and unmanaged process. The presentation tackled the problems between reality and how to reflect in BPM (don't forget the error handling!) At total architecture, you can read more about it.
   
2. "Towards a universal VM" The JVM start to integrate features in its JIT compilation, not for the Java language but for dynamic languages on top of it. The presented feature was invokedynamic.
3. Archimate tries to bridge between the free format boardroom type models and very specific UML models. It focused on Enterprise Architects and integrating different high level views.

For me the main topics where cloud computing and service-orientation (don't say SOA anymore). Both are still not there yet but further maturing.
