August 24, 2001 -- (WEB HOST INDUSTRY REVIEW) - Tech Conferences, Inc. (vbconnections.com), a producer of

information technology conferences, announced yesterday the addition of an

expert panel to the XML and Web Services Connections conference. The

conference will run at the Fairmont Scottsdale Princess in Scottsdale,

Arizona from September 30 to October 3.

The expert panel will discuss Web services and the architecture of

next-generation Internet applications, including exchanges, portals, and a

global e-business infrastructure. Organizations collaborating over the

Internet, particularly for electronic business, are expected to be major

producers of Web services consumed by partners and customers.

Several global technology initiatives have adopted XML and the exchange of

XML documents as the new model for e-business. IBM, Microsoft, Ariba and

270+ organizations are participating in the Universal Description, Discovery

and Integration (UDDI) initiative that hosts an electronic business registry

(uddi.org). The United Nations partnered with OASIS, an organization of over

150 technology companies, to create specifications for electronic business

with XML.

The panel members represent a cross-section of leading software companies

participating in the development of ebXML, UDDI and Web services. Their

diverse background includes distributed computing, XML, messaging

technologies, Java 2 Enterprise Edition, .NET, and e-business. Panelists

include Geoff Brown, contributing architect

for Oracle Message Broker and Oracle Exchange; Mark Colan, InfoBus architect

and Lead XML and E-Business Evangelist, IBM; John Evdemon, Member of the W3C

XML Core Working Group and CTO Vitria XML Solutions; James Kao, J2EE guru

and vice president, The Middleware company; Duane Nickull, editor of the

ebXML Technical Architecture specification and CTO, XML Global; and Eric

Schmidt, Program Manager for XML Web Services at Microsoft. The panel

moderator is Ken North, president of Ken North Computing LLC and XML and Web

Services channel editor for Dr. Dobb's Journal.

''Increased bandwidth over the next few years means collaborative Internet

applications will become more practical. Major industry players such as IBM

and Microsoft are promoting the Web services model and UDDI has been a

proof-of-concept, but the technology still faces major obstacles. We've

assembled a distinguished panel to discuss Web services and distributed

computing alternatives, and issues such as licensing, privacy, transactions,

security and scalability,'' said panel moderator Ken North.

The panel discussion will run from 5:30-6:30 p.m. on October 2 at the

Scottsdale Princess. Admission is free for persons registering for the

special events pass for XML and Web Services Connections

(xmlconnections.com), Windows & .NET Server Connections

(devconnections.com/win/), or Office Developer Connections

(devconnections.com/office/).
