Java Implementations for Intranet and Extranet
Speaker:
Netscape Communications Corporation
Abstract:
Corporations worldwide are revisiting the ways they provide information and
services to their employees, partners, vendors and customers. Effective
intranets and extranets are playing an increasingly critical role in a
company's ability to compete and thrive. This fundamental shift to the
Internet has created unparalleled opportunities for the software development
community, and Java has played a crucial role in the development of the
Networked Enterprise. As companies move from static publishing of information
to interactive, distributed applications, different technologies are required
to support this transformation.
Time: Wednesday, 4/2; 11:00 am - 12:00 pm
Speaker:

will include JavaBeans, tools, customer solutions and more. IBM has more than
1,000 people in 24 labs around the world working on Java, with a major focus on
helping customers and developers succeed with Java. Come ask this panel how
IBM can help Java work for you.
Time: Wednesday, 4/2; 12:15 pm - 1:15 pm
Speaker:
Stuart Lerner, Business Development Manager, Sun Microsystems Inc.
Abstract:

software and hardware . The customer will share experiences in the development
and deployment of a successful Java Computing based solution that will take
them into the 21st century.
Time: Wednesday, 4/2; 5:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Speaker:
Peter Relan, Vice President, Internet Server Products, Oracle
Corporation
Abstract:
Java has, in a very short time, become the programming environment of choice
for network computing. Oracle will bring Java to the enterprise by developing
products that support Java across all tiers of Oracle's Network Computing
Architecture. This talk will provide an overview of Java implementation in all
tiers and provide direction.
Time: Thursday, 4/3; 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Speaker:
Chris Biber, Director Strategic Alliances, Corel Corporation
Abstract:
Corel Office For Java comprises a suite of productivity components, such as
word processing, spreadsheet, charting and PIM modules. This session will
highlight how each of these Java components - Corel Enterprise Objects (CEOs) -
have become JavaBeans as well as JavaBeans Containers. Developers will learn
how the components can be used and customized in 3rd party JavaBeans
Containers, and in visual builder tools to create custom applications. This
session will also demonstrate how office components, as JavaBeans containers
themselves, can use, manipulate and customize JavaBeans developed by a third
party.
Time: Thursday, 4/3; 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Speaker:
Todd Yancy, Director, Fujitsu Software Corp.
Abstract:
With the new release of the Java Development Kit, JDK 1.1 provides various
long-awaited features such as internationalization. Now, international
corporate users will start to use Java widely in their mission critical
applications in which the manipulation of multi-byte character sets is
mandatory.
To be well accepted in international markets, it is not adequate just to
provide the framework for internationalization. Java should be enhanced in
various areas such as business class libraries and its execution performance so
that it becomes comparable to conventional programming languages.
This session will review Fujitsu's plan for how Java will be strengthened in
business
application and execution performance, based on Fujitsu's long experience in
supporting several tens of thousands of Japanese corporate customers and
providing the highest performing compilers such as Fortran, COBOL, C and C++.
Time: Thursday, 4/3; 3:15 pm - 4:15 pm
Speaker:
Joe Keller, Director, Marketing and Support, Sun Microsystems Inc.
Abstract:
Java WorkShop is an integrated development environment for rapid development of
Java applications and JavaBeans components. It provides a complete environment
for editing, building and debugging portable Java applications.
Time: Thursday, 4/3; 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm
Speakers:
Masahiro Kuroda, Chief Engineer, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation,
Abstract:
Whether you are integrating the mobile network enterprise or developing Java
based applications for consumer appliances, the architecture, design and
programming issues are critical. Mitsubishi Electric has developed a JavaOS
based strategy that encompasses the mobile networking device as well as the
system integrated circuit. This session will encompass two presentations. The
first encompasses the configurations and architectures for implementing the
Mitsubishi JavaOS based mobile computing device in a networked, corporate
enterprise environment.
In 1996, Mitsubishi ported the Java Virtual Machine to its M32R/D processor.
This year, the company ported JavaOS to the same chip. Mitsubishi's second
presentation will cover the design and software development issues in dealing
with JavaOS ported to the system-chip IC the M32R/D processor -- for Java
enabled portable devices and information appliances, via Mitsubishi's
revolutionary new eRAM technology.
Time: Friday, 4/4; 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Speaker:
Jim Gable, Vice-President of Software Marketing
Apple, Inc.
Abstract:
As the Java platform evolves, robust new features and functionality
are becoming available to the Java developer that were previously
only exposed to OS developers. This session will examine some of
the exciting new capablities and directions of the Java platform
through multimedia, advanced publishing, Internet and tools. Apple's
plans for how Java API's will be integrated into our products and OS
will also be highlighted.
Time: Friday, 4/4; 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm
Building Directory-Enabled and Groupware Solutions in Java
Speaker:
Alvin Tedjamulia, Vice President, Developer Technology Group, Novell,
Inc.
Abstract:
This session will focus on two critical network service areas: naming and
directory and groupware. Naming and directory services enable applications to
transparently navigate and locate resources across dissimilar name spaces
including: NDS, LDAP, DNS, NIS, file systems, etc. Groupware network services
enable pervasive collaboration via email, calendering/scheduling, workflow, and
document management. Attendees will see demonstrations of these network
services in action.
Time: Friday, 4/4; 1:45 pm - 2:45 pm
Multimedia and 3D Programming with Java
Speakers:
Doug Young, Principal Scientist, Web Products Division, Silicon
Graphics, Inc.;
Abstract:
This presentation describes ways to use VRML and Java together to create 3D and
multimedia content. We will show how Java can be used to add programmatic
behavior to objects in a VRML scene, and how to access and control VRML worlds
from Java applets. In addition to demonstrating the kinds of dynamic content
made possible by combining these two technologies, we will discuss tools that
can assist developers who want to create and debug content based on VRML and
Java.
Time: Friday, 4/4; 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Speaker:
Mike Sharzynsi, Vice President & General Manager,
Inferno Network Software
Abstract:
Inferno is a network operating system that enables thin clients to access and
utilize the power of the network. Inferno runs on both thin client devices as
a native operating system and on servers and network elements as a hosted
operating system allowing applications to be truly distributed. Inferno
supports several programming languages, including Java. This presentation will
cover the key features of Inferno that allow it to run in small environments,
yet have the power of the network. In addition, it will also cover the
languages supported, and how Inferno can be used to develop new systems and
leverage existing technologies.
Time: Friday, 4/4; 4:15 pm - 5:15 pm
Speaker:
Raj Parekh, VP/GM Volume Products Group, Sun Microsystems, Inc.
Abstract:
This session will outline the framework for an entirely new category of
microprocessors optimized to run Java applications. New devices, powered by
Java processors, will enable products like cell phones to receive e-mail and
browse the World Wide Web. TVs will become more intelligent. Java processors
will also power network computers at entirely new levels of performance. This
is the emergence of new platforms for application development and the
springboard for revenue growth in areas unheard of a mere 18 months ago.
