If you’re anything like me, you probably do most of your reading online these days. Of course, blogs, wikis, forums, e-newsletters and the like are great for staying on top of the news. Nevertheless, I’m still a great fan of the good old-fashioned printed word.

Below is a list of all the speakers at DIALOG 08 who have authored or co-authored a book related to the content of the conference - just in case you want to do a bit of background reading during your flight to Palm Springs:

• Sandy Carter - The New Language of Business: SOA and Web 2.0
• Allen Fahden - Innovation on Demand and Is Half the World Crazy?
• David Simchi-Levi - The Logic of Logistics, and Designing and Managing the Supply Chain
• James Taylor - Smart (Enough) Systems

If I missed anyone, please feel free to add a comment with a shameless plug here.

You might also want to check out the reading list that we’ve put together on the ILOG BRMS Resource Center website.

If you’ve got any other suggestions to share with other DIALOG attendees for must-read literary masterpieces that cover Business Rules, BPM, Optimization, Visualization, or Supply Chain Management topics, please add a comment here.
