The Future of Web Development and Java

James Gosling will focus on the future of Web Development - his views on what technologies are critical, what the pitfalls are, what the best strategies are to handle the short time-to-market constraints. Will Java help? Obviously! What are the dangers? How to make software development on the Web as painless as possible. Where is java heading? What are the new 'cool' things we can expect?

CORBA

CORBA is an open standard for object oriented distributed computing. It allows applications to be transparently distributed over a network, executing objects implemented in various languages on disparate platforms. Java offers safe object-oriented programming, portability of complied code and integration with Web environments in the form of applets. The combination of these technologies is very powerful! Web browsers are providing increasing support for CORBA client applets, and CORBA vendors are providing firewall and gateway solutions to allow deployment of CORBA on the internet. This track addresses the use of these and other distributed object technologies in the WWW, both from the application developer and the protocol and middleware developer perspectives. Speakers in this track will address the current use of CORBA and Web technologies, as well as future convergences between object systems and the internet.

Track Co-ordinator: Keith Duddy, DSTC dud@dstc.edu.au
