JavaBeans and the Enterprise

Speaker: Chris Biber, Director Strategic Alliances, Corel Corporation

Abstract: Corel Office For Java comprises a suite of productivity components, such as word processing, spreadsheet, charting and PIM modules. This session will highlight how each of these Java components - Corel Enterprise Objects (CEOs) - have become JavaBeans as well as JavaBeans Containers. Developers will learn how the components can be used and customized in 3rd party JavaBeans Containers, and in visual builder tools to create custom applications. This session will also demonstrate how office components, as JavaBeans containers themselves, can use, manipulate and customize JavaBeans developed by a third party.

Java Enhancement for Mission-Critical Applications

Speaker: Todd Yancy, Director, Fujitsu Software Corp.

Abstract: With the new release of the Java Development Kit, JDK 1.1 provides various long-awaited features such as internationalization. Now, international corporate users will start to use Java widely in their mission critical applications in which the manipulation of multi-byte character sets is mandatory.

To be well accepted in international markets, it is not adequate just to provide the framework for internationalization. Java should be enhanced in various areas such as business class libraries and its execution performance so that it becomes comparable to conventional programming languages.

This session will review Fujitsu's plan for how Java will be strengthened in business application and execution performance, based on Fujitsu's long experience in supporting several tens of thousands of Japanese corporate customers and providing the highest performing compilers such as Fortran, COBOL, C and C++.

JavaOS Design Architectures in Mobile Enterprise, Consumer and Information Appliances

Speakers: Masahiro Kuroda, Chief Engineer, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation,
Computer and Information Systems Laboratory;

Scott Hansen, Deputy General Manager, Mitsubishi Electronics America, Inc., Mobile Computer Division;

Mamoru Sakamoto, Senior Engineer, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, System LSI Laboratory

Abstract: Whether you are integrating the mobile network enterprise or developing Java based applications for consumer appliances, the architecture, design and programming issues are critical. Mitsubishi Electric has developed a JavaOS based strategy that encompasses the mobile networking device as well as the system integrated circuit. This session will encompass two presentations. The first encompasses the configurations and architectures for implementing the Mitsubishi JavaOS based mobile computing device in a networked, corporate enterprise environment.

In 1996, Mitsubishi ported the Java Virtual Machine to its M32R/D processor. This year, the company ported JavaOS to the same chip. Mitsubishi's second presentation will cover the design and software development issues in dealing with JavaOS ported to the system-chip IC the M32R/D processor -- for Java enabled portable devices and information appliances, via Mitsubishi's revolutionary new eRAM technology.

Time: Friday, 4/4; 10:00 am - 11:00 am
