Star Division's OO-Strategie
----------------------------
Star Division hat bereits fruehzeitig objektorientierte Technologie entwickelt,
mit deren Hilfe ihre Produkte auf OS/2, die Windows-Familie, Macintosh und Unix
vom selben Quellcode weg portierbar sind.
[Star Division has embraced OO technology in a very early stage already, and is
therefore able to port its products to OS/2, the Windows-family, Macintosh and
Unix from the very same source code. The talk will be in German.]
Uwe Fasterling, Star Division (BRD)

Transport), die Innensicht (Groupware) und die Aussensicht (Internet). Die

einziges Mal zu aktualisieren und in automatisierter Form - attraktiv
aufbereitet - ueber das Internet Kunden und Interessenten zugaenglich zu
machen.

Open Doc
--------
Open Doc wird seit Jahren intensiv als offener Standard fuer die
betriebssystem- und rechnerunabhaengigen Entwicklung von objektorientierten
Systemen entwickelt und geht in seiner Konzeption weit ueber das hinaus, was
OLE bietet. Open Doc steht kurz vor der Fertigstellung fuer OS/2, Apple
Macintosh, AIX, und Windows. In diesem Vortrag wird u.a. die Konzeption von
Open Doc vorgestellt und die benutzten Grundlagentechnologien (SOM) skizziert.
[For years Open Doc has been developed as an open standard for developing
OO-oriented systems and its concept surpasses OLE by a wide margin. Open Doc
is about to be released for OS/2, Apple Macintosh, AIX and Windows. In this

talk will be in German.]

Java - in englischer Sprache
----------------------------
Java is hot. Java is sometimes seen as the future of more intelligent Web
browsers for the Internet. Although not a product yet (scheduled for spring
1996 by Sun), there are many developers actively porting Java to different
platforms and companies are expressing interest in supporting Java. What is
Java and what can it do for your business?
Mike F. Cowlishaw, IBM Labor (Hursley, UK)
------------------------------------------
Mike F. Cowlishaw is a renowned IBM fellow, who has invented and developed
REXX, which has been ported to almost every single operating system there is in
the world. He has been actively following technological trends for years and
was kind enough to share some of his programs via IBM's EWS (employee written
software) like PMGlobe and GoServe, the excellent (and free!) WWW-server which
the OS/2 Forum Austria is employing on its own WWW-server
(http://www.os2forum.or.at).
***
Object REXX - in englischer Sprache
------------------------------------
Object REXX is hot. It is incredible! Right now very late beta-test versions
are floating around and it will be available for OS/2 Warp (Intel + Power PC),
Linux (even a free port !) and Windows. It is REXX with objects and
interfaces seamlessly with the industry standard SOM (therefore e.g with the
Workplace Shell) ! Best of all, it is slated to be the OSA (open scripting
language) of choice for IBM's Open Doc implementations.
Rick McGuire, IBM Labor (Endicott, USA)
---------------------------------------
Rick McGuire has been the lead developer of Object REXX for the past
years. The Object REXX project originally started back in 1988 at IBM, the
earliest prototype was written in 1989. Since then a tremendeous amount of
(conceptual) work and development shaped a fascinating new language, of which
no one else could talk more competent about than Rick McGuire himself.
