Keynote Address - James Gosling, Sun Microsystems
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.
