A Java(tm) Conference
For Professional Software Developers
& Corporate IS Managers
April 8 - 10, 1996
New York, NY
Presented by Integrated Computer Solutions, Inc.

Java Development & Professional Software Developers
There's a great deal of attention on Java right now. IntraNet 96(tm) is the
only conference devoted to the issues of professional development with Java.
We're looking for speakers who can treat Java as a serious programming
language. This conference will go beyond the Java applet to the Java
application.
Java Development & Corporate IS Managers
There's a great deal of hype around Java right now. The question that IS
managers and engineering managers need to ask (and answer) isn't how to
program Java, but rather why to use Java, and in what ways to use it. We're
looking for speakers who can address those questions. How does Java fit into
the corporate Intranet, the corporate information infrastructure?
Conference Sessions
All sessions at IntraNet 96 will be of a technical nature. No sales-oriented
proposals will be accepted. All papers should be written with one of the
following questions in mind:
How? Methods, techniques, and tips on using a system or technology...
As in, "How do you write a Java application?"
Why? Reasons for choosing a system or technology, when to use
something...
As in, "When should you use Java versus Broadway?"
What? Descriptions of systems, technologies...
As in, "What is the AWT?"
There will be a Technical Track and a Strategic Track. The Technical sessions
will focus on Java programming issues. The Strategic sessions will focus on
Java's place in the corporate information infrastructure- the Intranet.
Topics
The following topics are only suggestions. Please do not feel limited by them.
Presentations on work-in-progress are acceptable, though technologies more
than a year from readiness are not normally accepted. The IntraNet 96
technical reviewers are able to sign non-disclosure agreements for work that
is considered confidential for the time period leading up to the show.
o Programming with Java
o Java tips (intermediate-advanced level)
o Inside the AWT
o "Other" Java toolkits
o Java as a client/server development architecture
o Java and object/relational databases
o Issues in developing cross platform applications with Java
o Combining Java with C and C++
o Real life Java development experiences
o The impact of Java on Wall Street
o Java's impact on internet terminals
o Multimedia and Java
o Comparing Java and Blackbird
o Integrating Java and OpenDoc
o Java's impact on corporate development
o Should Java replace C++?
o Java Performance
(Will Java always be sooo slow?)
o Broadway as a Java complement
o Java & CORBA
o Real time programming with Java
o The Java security model
Format
Tutorials
Tutorials are full day (six hour) and half day (three hour) sessions,
typically geared to answer the question, "How?" Prospective instructors
should submit detailed course descriptions along with any teaching and
technology credentials. The descriptions need to include the general skill
level required as well as any specific course prerequisites. Instructors
will receive an honorarium. Instructors are required to provide detailed
course notes for distribution at the show. Deadlines for the submission of
final tutorial notes are strict and must be met.
Technical Papers
Paper sessions are shorter sessions from 20 minutes to 50 minutes in length.
Prospective presenters should submit abstracts one half to one full page
long. If your proposal is accepted, you will be required to provide a paper
for inclusion in the Conference Proceedings.
Technical Panels
Panels will be 80 minutes to 110 minutes in length- allowing multiple issues,
perspectives and solutions to be examined. Prospective presenters should
submit abstracts one half to one full page long. Presenters should include a
proposed panel chair and potential panelists. Conference management can work
with the chairperson to identify and confirm additional panelists for
accepted proposals. Papers will be accepted for the Conference Proceedings,
but are not mandatory.
Industry Updates
Industry Updates address the question, "What?" in a very concrete fashion,
offering information on commercially available products. The Industry Update
sessions are available only to exhibiting vendors who should submit abstracts
one half to one full page long. Presenters may submit a paper for inclusion
in a special Proceedings which will be distributed to all attendees.
Proposals
All proposals must be received by February 2, 1996.
Proposals will be evaluated by the Conference Technical Committee. Please be
sure that the Submission Form is completed correctly and accompanies your
abstract.
If your proposal is accepted, you will need to provide the Conference with:
o a short description for publication in promotional materials and the
Show Program
o audio visual requirements
o rough draft of paper (or presentation slides for panelists)
o final paper (or presentation slides for panelists)
Additionally, tutorial instructors will need to provide:
o biography
o short and long descriptions for publication in promotional materials
and the Show Program
o rough draft of course notes
o final course notes
Reminders:
o If your proposal is accepted for a Paper Presentation, you will be
required to provide a paper for inclusion in the Conference
Proceedings.
o Panels that involve many end-users are usually better received than
panels with just vendors.
o Marketing and sales-oriented proposals will be rejected for the
technical conference sessions.
o On your abstract, be sure to include prerequisites, level of talk,
and contact information.
o Computer projection is limited but will be available in some rooms.
Please keep this in mind when planning your presentation.

There will be a limited amount of space for vendor exhibits. Vendors will be
limited to 10'x10' booths. Sponsoring vendors will be able to secure larger
