Presentation: "Case Study: European Patent Office"
Time:
Tuesday 10:45 - 12:00
Location:
Foyer Room
Abstract: The European Patent Office (EPO) has been serving inventors and companies in Europe since 1977. Over the last 31 years, it
has received 2.7 million patent applications and granted nearly 900 000 European patents. Today, the EPO is the second
largest European organisation, with 6 500 employees from 30 nations at five sites in four countries. Patent documents dating as far back as 1836 from all over the world have been collected and the free internet services esp@cenet and Open Patent Services offer access to one of the world's largest technology databases (containing data on over 60 million worldwide patent documents).
Keeping the internal as well as public applications up to date, manageable, auditable and operational is no easy task.
If you are curious about how high-volume and transactional Spring applications are developed and monitored then this session is for you.
After having hands-on shown what key Spring applications are present at the European Patent Office you will be given an insight into the application deployment infrastructure and how we deal with day-to-day application management from the perspective of operational staff.
You will be shown what architectural decisions are made when choosing technologies from the Spring portfolio and how these are strategically monitored when having gone live using the SpringSource Application Management Suite (AMS).
