message “Reinventing S.O.A.: Service-Oriented Architecture” Edric Marco C. Florentino, FUAP, apec architect Chancellor Share: Status Photo Link Video College of Fellows To my fellow volunteers in UAP and to all proficient participants, it is with great pleasure and pride that I, on behalf of the UAP COLLEGE OF FELLOWS, welcome you to the 37th UAP National Convention and Conex 2011. Today, we have gathered here to exchange views about Service-Oriented Architecture, its future and our common responsibilities towards it. It is obvious that the future of Philippine Architecture is intertwined with its current state and with the prevailing trends, which exhibit signs of hope and opportunities – and this event, the 37th UAP National Convention is convened based on those hopes. There are new realities, new opportunities, new challenges concerning this Service-Oriented Architecture. And we must have the resolve, the flexibility and the creativity to formulate new policies to take advantage of these new opportunities and meet these new challenges with regards to the underlying principle of Service-Oriented Architecture. Through particip ative and interactive seminars integrated in this event, we will have an opportunity to engage in meaningful mutual exchange. And as we evaluate the concept of a Service-Oriented Architecture and discuss future ones, we hope to come up with appropriate programs that address the various needs of the architecture profession. As we face various changes, both within the Philippines and across the globe, I hope that we will take the opportunity offered by this UAP Annual Convention to learn from each other and freely debate the question of the direction for which we should aim in UAP projects and the activities of the UAP as the IAPOA. Furthermore, I hope that this will culminate in meaningful outcomes and that the existence of the United Architects of the Philippines will come to be of even greater value as a result. The UAP CoF Community and I would like to close by expressing my very best wishes for the success of the UAP Conventions and Exhibits with the help of our very active Organizing Committee, the continued development of the UAP-IAPOA, and the fruitful participation of all stakeholders in the built industry. 37th UAP National Convention © 2011 About Us | Contact | Blog | Resources | Help | Terms | Privacy | 25
