Subject: Cyber Tech Seminar Series II - Java Technology Seminar & Short Co urse Date: Wed, 06 Sep 2000 09:34:05 -0400 From: Cyber Tech Seminars To: "'APLPTE@apl.jhu.edu'" Sept. 11 Java Technology Day Brings Java Experts to APL Sept. 12 APL Offers Free One-Day Short Course For Software Developers on Programming With Servlets and JavaServer Pages "Java Technology Day" will kick off a new Cyber Tech seminar, Monday Sept. 11, 2000, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Kossiakoff Center of the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), Laurel, Md. Key industry speakers offering their perspectives on evolving Java-related technologies include Ken Arnold and Greg Bollella, Sun Microsystems; Joseph Fung, Blueflame (formerly PCSI Inc.); Susanne Hupfer, Mirror Worlds Technologies Inc. and Yale University; Gary McGraw, Reliable Software Technologies; and Doug Tidwell, IBM. SCHEDULE Morning Session: 1 - Ken Arnold: Sun Microsystems - Jini Architecture for Distributed Computing 2 - Susanne Hupfer: Mirror Worlds Technologies, Inc. & Yale University - Jini & JavaSpaces Technology 3 - Joseph Fung: Blueflame (formerly PCSI, Inc.) - Java and Wireless Technologies Afternoon Session: 4 - Doug Tidwell: IBM - Java and XML Technologies 5 - Gary McGraw: Reliable Software Technologies - Java Security Meets Smart Cards 6 - Greg Bollella: Sun Microsystems - Real-Time for Java 7 - Technical Panel Discussion APL's Marty Hall, author of Core Servlets and JavaServer Pages and Core Web Programming, will host the event and serve as moderator for a technical panel discussion to be held at the end of the day. Java Technology Day is free and open to the public. This program is part of APL's ongoing Cyber Tech Seminar Series, which has been examining the impact of technological developments on society and its institutions. Presentations are given by leading experts from industry, government, and academia. Previous seminars covered new forms of human-computer interaction, information system security, Internet bandwidth and architecture issues, operating systems, and the potential of high-performance computing. In addition, APL is offering a free, one-day Java short course for software developers. The course will be held on Tuesday, Sept. 12, 2000, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Parson's Auditorium (off the lobby in Bldg. 1). Marty Hall will serve as instructor for a course entitled, Better than CGI: Developing Dynamic Web Applications with Servlets and JavaServer Pages. ABSTRACT: Servlets and JavaServer Pages provide an efficient, powerful, and portable alternative to traditional CGI and to many CGI-like alternatives for building Web-enabled applications and dynamic Web sites and services. This technology is widely used in industry and is supported by virtually all major Web and application servers. Registration is required for both the Java Technology seminar day on Sept. 11 and the Java short course on Sept. 12 and must be completed by noon on Friday, Sept. 8. Since we can only accommodate a limited number of attendees, we urge everyone to register as early as possible. Please register by e-mail to and include in the subject heading either "cyber tech seminar registration" or "cyber tech short course registration." In addition, If you are planning to attend both the seminar and the short course, then include in the subject heading "cyber tech registration for both." Acceptance of registration will be based on "first-come, first-served" e-mail response. Registrants will be admitted unless informed otherwise.
