Track One: Using the Internet
and the Web for Your Competitive Edge
How far the Internet and the World Wide Web technology have come, how to
use that technology to give you the competitive edge, and what lies ahead
in the not so distant future are the hot topics of discussion for this track
of session and tutorials.
Sessions :
Doing Business on the Internet - an Analysts' Perspective
A panel of experts will share their knowledge and expertise about the Internet
including business trends and future opportunities. Find out how your organization
fits in this amazing web of technology.
Achieving Success on the Internet with Commercial Home Pages
Many corporations are doing business on the Net, and, soon all will be if
they intend to remain competitive. What do you need to do to ensure your
company stands out and is successful on the Net? This session provides an
overview of options available and highlights prosperous Commercial Home
Pages.
Firewalls and the Future of Internet Security
This session includes an in-depth discussion of firewalls including firewall
options and the level of security provided by each. There will also be a
discussion of advanced security methods and their future deployment.
Using the Internet for In-house Communications (including groupware)
Companies are beginning to use their existing computer network resources
to form the base of a new business tool that can be "turned inside
out" to create an inwardly focused "intranet." These corporate
intranets can be designed to not only arm employees with the tools to access
the Internet's vast array of resources, but also to create powerful corporate
systems such as Web sites for employee benefits, training and education,
business collateral dissemination, and more!
Electronic Cash and its Alternatives
With the majority of companies turning to the Internet today to broaden
their marketability, what are the pros and cons of electronic cash and what
alternatives are available? This session will provide the answers to these
questions.
Java: How Hot is it?!
This modern technology is receiving mega attention in the media. Java is
said to be the hottest Internet tool. What is it about this interactive
language that turns Web pages into dynamic documents? We'll explore the
world of Java in the Unix environment.
Track Two: Business-Critical
Architecture
If you're serious about data warehousing, enterprise-wide distributed computing
and other business critical architecture, be sure to attend this track of
sessions and tutorials devoted to new and proven concepts and practical
applications that can successfully improve your business processes.
Sessions :
DCE: Productive or Just Promised?
The Distributed Computing Environment Standard (DCE) - the set of applications
designed to run over multiple operating systems and network protocols -
has come of age, and today is delivering on its promise to simplify complex
network management ---- or is it? Does this standard provide the answer
to IS managers who have been looking for better development tools and management
services to be able to run applications freely across distributed and disparate
computers, databases, and interfaces? This session will address these issues
and provide an insight into DCE.
Strategies for Developing Multi-tier Applications
Multi-tier applications require much more than just hardware technology
to be successful. Issues to be addressed include what architecture model
and tool sets should be used, which applications should be deployed, and
who is going to integrate the solution. These and other related issues will
be covered in this informative session.
Message-oriented Middleware and Supporting Distributed Applications
A distributed environment demands continuous deployment of software, services
and data to keep it functional and secure. Attend this session to find out
how message-oreinted middleware can and is being used to keep control of
thousands of user accounts and system configurations, all of which are in
a constant state of change.
Options for Integrated Systems Management
An effective strategy for managing Unix and NT/Windows co-existence is a
requirement for enterprise information professionals. This session will
discuss the options available for systems and network management across
these heterogeneous environments, focusing on presenting production system
approaches and lessons learned.
Software Quality: Debugging, Deploying and Driving Distributed Applications
Software for client-server solutions range from database to desktop, from
SQL to enterprise-wide server tools. This session examines what you need
to do to ensure all of this software will perform for tens to thousands
of your users, while allowing your information system to evolve with new
generations of technology.
OLE Integration with Unix Object Systems - Fact or Fantasy?
Object-oriented technologies represent the next generation for applications
design. Microsoft offers its owns approach with the OLE environment, while
Unix vendors appear to be following a different course. This session will
examine the similarities and differences in the various approaches and present
options for integrating these environments.
