Ray Wells
IBM Corporation
Tuesday 1:30-2:20 pm
IBM’s Object Technology features include ORB, CORBA services, object server, and the VisualAge family including C++ and Java. It has been designed to meet distributed client/server application development needs and support network computing environments. Attendees walk away from this session with an understanding of IBM’s Object Technology capabilities.
Larry Porter
IBM Corporation
Tuesday 2:30-3:20 pm
Programming languages have evolved from machine code to object oriented high-level languages and in addition, programming technology has seen an evolution from subroutines through class libraries and application frameworks, to component architectures. Languages such as C and C++ have taken many years to complete this evolution while Java™ has made this leap and more in less than a year and a half. This session describes the basic ideas behind the Java component model, Java Beans, and illustrates why it is so significant.
Rick Adams
IBM Corporation
Tuesday 3:30-4:20 pm
IBM’s commercial shareable frameworks technology provides support for a different approach to application development. This new approach is a result of increasing pressure on companies to do more, faster, with less. Attendees learn how applications are built using this framework technology and how to leverage its distributed object environment and its business object program model. As a result, applications are designed for today’s Internet/intranet world with the flexibility and extensibility to prepare businesses for tomorrow’s opportunities.
Robert High, Object Services Development
IBM Corporation
Wednesday 8:30-9:20 am
Mr. High addresses the functions and applicability of key CBConnector object services, including their relevance to managing objects in large-scale distributed systems. Also discussed are design principles employed to achieve scalability in enterprise systems, and how they exploit robust legacy technology such as DCE.
Don Ferguson, Manager, Distribution & Fault TOL
Architecture
IBM Research Division
Wednesday, 9:30-10:20 am
Attendees get in on the ground floor with IBM's CBConnector. This session outlines the major components of the solution and explains how they can be leveraged to produce robust, scalable networked computing solutions.
Cynthia McFall, Director, OT Engagements
IBM Corporation
Wednesday 3:00-3:50 pm
Networked computing involves the ability for the application resources inside an enterprise to be accessed by any client on the network in a secure, robust manner. This session covers how organizations use CBConnector, IBM's distributed object application server, for enabling networked computing.
Ken Burgett, CBConnector Marketing Group
IBM Corporation
Thursday 8:30-9:20 pm
CBConnector provides companies with a new way to design and program application servers. This session covers the basics and attendees learn to program distributed object application servers based on CBConnector.
Joe Wigglesworth, Manager and Advisory Software
Engineer
IBM Corporation
Thursday 1:00-1:50 pm
In order to effectively use the new CBConnector product, a new development environment is needed. This presentation examines the tools that have been both developed and integrated into an environment that makes CBConnector applications much easier to create and deploy. Special emphasis is placed on the CBConnector Object Builder and its integration with Relational Rose and ER/Win. Attendees see how this combination can be used to execute either a top-down or bottom-up methodology.
Bob Garnero
IBM Corporation
Thursday 2:00-2:50 pm
The entire industry is moving to state-of-the-art distributed object application systems based on CORBA, but all of the systems that have been working for 30 years cannot simply be thrown away. This session demonstrates how, using CBConnector, organizations can easily and effectively integrate existing systems as part of IT architecture.
