Aleksandar Seovic
Software Developer and Author
Aleksandar lead the implementation of Oracle Coherence for .NET, a client library that allows applications written in any .NET language to access data and services provided by Oracle Coherence data grid. He was also one of the key people involved in the design and implementation of Portable Object Format (POF), a platform-independent object serialization format that allows seamless interoperability of Coherence-based Java, .NET and C++ applications.
Aleksandar is the author of Oracle Coherence 3.5 (Packt Publishing, 2010) and Oracle ACE Director for Fusion Middleware. He frequently speaks about and evangelizes Coherence at conferences, Java and .NET user group events, and Coherence SIGs.

Performance and Scalability Revisited: In-Memory Data Grids

Building scalable, highly-available applications that perform well is not an easy task. These features cannot be simply “bolted” onto an existing application – they have to be architected into it. Unfortunately, the things we need to do to achieve them are often in conflict with each other, and finding the right balance is crucial.
In this session we will discuss why scaling web applications is difficult and will look at some of solutions we have come up with in the past to deal with the issues involved. We will then look at how in-memory data grids can make our jobs easier by providing a solid architectural foundation to build our applications on top of.
If you are new to in-memory data grids, you are guaranteed to leave the presentation eager to learn more. However, even if you are already using one you will likely walk out with a few ideas on how to improve performance and scalability of your applications.
In-Memory Data Grids: Not Your Mom's Cache
By Aleksandar Seovic
While many developers still think of in-memory data grids as clustered caches, in reality they are much more and provide a solid foundation for the next generation of scalable web and enterprise applications.
In this session we will briefly discuss standard caching features of in-memory data grids and quickly move on to some of the truly amazing and revolutionary features such as grid queries and aggregations, parallel and in-place processing, and real-time events.
End-to-End Performance Optimization
By Aleksandar Seovic
Performance matters. If your web site or application is unresponsive, users will either go to competitor’s site or hate the application they are forced to use.
In this session we will discuss various performance optimization techniques you can use to improve performance of your web applications and ensure that your users are happy. We will cover the whole architecture stack by discussing not only how to optimize server-side code and persistence layer, but how to optimize the front end as well.
Introduction to Load Testing
By Aleksandar Seovic
You might think that your application scales well, but what will happen if you deploy it in production and it crashes and burns as the number of users increases. Whether it crashes completely or “just” becomes extremely slow, the end result is the same – it is essentially unavailable to the users.
To avoid that, you need to stress the application before the deployment and measure how well it performs under load and how well it scales.
In this session we will discuss load testing in general and talk about what you need to measure, how you need to measure it, and what conclusions you can draw from the results.
