Keynote: Coming Together: Java, Eclipse, and SOA
Dr Lee R. Nackman, VP, Product Development and Customer Support, IBM Rational Software
Tuesday, September 13, 8:30 a.m.
 The people who pay the bills are demanding faster time-to-value and better quality from all of our application development projects. Yet the programming models we work with grow ever more complex and our development efforts are spread across the world. Powerful tools based on the open-source Eclipse platform are being created in the open source community and by commercial vendors big and small. New business models around open source are emerging. SOA promises to simplify the programming model landscape. We'll describe how all of these forces are coming together to help define our future.
Keynote: Building a Dynamic SOA Architecture
Ted Farrell, Chief Architect, Application Tools Div., Oracle
Tuesday, September 13, 12:45 p.m.
 Implementation of SOA-based architectures can present a number of challenges for developers, architects, and managers. Hear what a leading middleware expert has to say about overcoming these challenges successfully through techniques, such as employing development frameworks, for designing, building, implementing, and deploying enterprise applications.
Java Technology Roundtable
Tuesday, September 13, 3 p.m.
The Java Technology Roundtable meets annually to discuss the past, present, and future of Java technology. A moderated, informal discussion among strategic, high-level Java IT professionals, the group meets to hash over the platform and the state of the industry. This ninety-minute session will be taped and posted online, and a shorter version will appear in Java Pro magazine.
Keynote: Simplify Your Stack with Enterprise Open Source Software
Marc Fleury, Founder, Chairman, and CEO, JBoss
Wednesday, September 14, 8:30 a.m.
 Listen in on how the open-source software (OSS) movement is having a disruptive effect on the software industry. The best open-source efforts including Linux, Apache HTTP Server, JBoss, Hibernate, Eclipse, and JUnit attract large, vibrant, and passionate developer communities. The result is typically higher quality, lower cost software that enables IT organizations to simplify their stacks and improve developer productivity. We'll focus on open source and open standards in the application infrastructure market, including metrics to use when evaluating enterprise open source products. We'll also discuss how open standards such as Enterprise Java Beans 3.0, JavaServer Faces, and Java Business Integration are designed to simplify the stack even further.
Panel: Directions in Application Servers
Panelists TBA
Wednesday, September 14, 10:45 a.m.
Because application servers centralize an organization's executed software, IT has more control over the deployed applications. Here's where architecture counts: security, flexibility, and reliability can be applied when the software component is application server-based. Thus, J2EE and app server technology is a bridge to the software of tomorrow. Despite the importance of technology issues, a new era calls for integrated solutions, short time to market, and quick and certifiable ROI. What's the future of the technology and its vendors? Join our panel for the discussion.
