> Programming in the Jini Architecture
>
> Ken Arnold
>
>Overview:
>The Jini(tm) technology provides an infrastructure for developing and
>deploying services in a network. Based on the Java platform, it allows
>new types of services to be installed without extra work at any of nodes
>in the network that use those services. This course will start with an
>overview of the Jini architecture, its purpose, and its architecture. It
>will then describe how to write a service and client for a Jini system.
>
>Objectives:
>This course will go through the Jini architecture starting at a high
>level and ending up knee deep in code. The focus will be o n object
>design abstractions using the Java programming language.
>
>Seminar Topics:
> What is the JINI architecture?
> How does it work?
> What do I have to do to be a service?
> What do I have to do to be a client?
>
>Lecturer:
>Ken Arnold is a Senior Staff Engineer with Sun Microsystems, previously
>in Sun Labs, and now part of the Jini team as the lead architect of
>JavaSpaces. Ken is the technical editor for the official Jini(tm)
>Technology Series of books, published by Addison-Wesley, and is a
>co-author of the first two books of the series: The Jini(tm)
>Specification and JavaSpaces(tm) Principles, Patterns and Practice. He
>is also the co-author, with James Gosling, of The Java Programming
>Language, now in its 2nd edition. He is a leading expert in
>object-oriented design and implementation, has written extensively on C
>and C++ topics for UNIX Review, and is also the co-author, with John
>Peyton, of A C User's Guide to ANSI C.

> Application Server Bootcamp
>
> Jeff Tash
>
>Overview:
>This seminar provides attendees with a comprehensive technological
>foundation covering all facets of application server technology. We will
>examine the underlying architectural features that enable scalability,
>session and state management, load balancing, fault tolerance, high
>availability and robust systems management. The seminar compares the
>competing server-based component models Enterprise Java Beans (EJB) and
>Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS) and COM+.
>
>Objectives:
>Understand how application server technology enables web-based
>self-service style enterprise solutions for employees, customers,
>partners and suppliers. Discover how application servers differ from
>traditional client/server computing. Identify the key technology
>issues critical for designing, developing and deploying distributed
>application server-based systems. Learn what differentiates various
>competitive application server products.
>
>Seminar Topics:
>Extensive analysis of Application Server technologies. Comprehensive
>description of Application Server Functionality. In-depth examination of
>Enterprise Java Beans (EJB). In-depth examination of Microsoft
>Transaction Server (MTS) and COM+. Comparative review of leading
>Application Server Products.
>
>Lecturer:
>Jeffrey B. Tash is the president of Hewitt Technologies (formerly
>Database Decisions), an information technology education and consulting
>firm founded in 1985. Acquired in 1988, Hewitt Technologies is a wholly
>owned division of Hewitt Associates LLC, a leading consultancy in
>corporate benefits, compensation, and human resources. Mr. Tash
>specializes in emerging information technologies. His expertise spans
>client/server computing, component-based object-oriented software
>development, and Internet / Intranet / Extranet application development
>and deployment.

> Design Patterns for Java Servlets
>
> Dan Jacobs
>
>Overview:
>This presentation talks about the use of server-side Java in general and
>Java servlets in particular, for building large, complex, dynamic
>websites. It focuses on the kinds of design problems that commonly occur
>and on how the use of Design Patterns can help to organize the design of
>complex web server based Java applications so that they can grow and
>evolve effectively.
>
>Objectives:
>To explain how to write servlets more effectively using design patterns
>
>Seminar Topics:
> Overview of server-side Java and Java Servlets
> Overview of Design Patterns
> Servlet life-cycle details and API overview
> Problems building complex networks of dynamically generated pages
> A few guiding principles
> Addressing different problems with a focus on relevant patterns
>
>Lecturer:
>Dan Jacobs is President of Tech Tonic Netsystems, a software engineering
>contracting and consulting group based in Burlington, specializing in
>object-oriented software engineering and internet applications. Dan has
>20 years of R&D experience in object-oriented languages, systems,
>databases and applications, and has been developing Java applications,
>user interfaces, and servlet-based dynamic web sites as the founder of
>Tech Tonic since January 1996.
