On the Shoulders of the Giants: Web Services...

Writing to a friend in 1675, Isaac Newton made this famous quote of his discoveries: "If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants." As we look to Web services as the future of the software industry, we'll need some tall shoulders to see our way clear to the rosy future some envision. In this session, IBM's Doug Tidwell considers open
source, open standards, and other giants currently beneath our feet. He'll also talk about a variety of technologies, some old, some new, that will lift the shoulders of today's software engineers so the next generation of developers can see even farther. Complete with anecdotes from the past, demos from the present, and predictions for the future, you'll get a clear vision of the potential of Web services.

Unlocking the Value of Enterprise Web Services

Today, Enterprise Web Services enable new forms of communication between Web-based enterprise applications. Yet these large applications still use message-queuing systems running over private networks whenever they need to ensure reliable, secure, bi-directional, event-driven communications. Dropped transactions, inadequate security and poor user experiences illustrate that today's underlying request/response Web model simply isn't a sufficient platform for Web Services-enabled enterprise applications.

What's needed is a communications layer, or Application Network, that enhances the Internet's standard protocols (HTTP/TCP/IP) to deliver the necessary communications qualities. The type of data transferred through the Network must have flexibility to address the spectrum of XML documents in one application, SOAP messages in another, and binary data in a third. When Application Networks become an element of the Web Services framework we can unlock the value of distributed, service-based enterprise applications and truly integrate them into a Web Services-based Internet.

XML Inside PDF: Digital Master for Document Structure

Extensible markup language (XML) is rapidly emerging as a universal language for information exchange - a "linga franca" that will enable the sharing of data transparently across computers and applications. At the same time, Adobe PDF has been acclaimed as the industry standard for sharing documents across platforms. The widely-held misconception is that the two are competing formats, when in reality XML and PDF complement each other, and when combined, form a reliable "digital master."

In this presentation, the speaker will explore the world of document structure, and focus on why Adobe PDF is so well-suited to serve as a vessel for transporting XML content. He/she will outline the support for XML offered by Acrobat, and how data from PDFs can be submitted in web-standard XML for easy integration with the back-end systems used for forms and other business purposes. He/she will describe how PDF documents can be changed dynamically online. Citing how PDF documents contain information about document structure and metadata, the speaker will explain how PDFs bind content information with document structure to enable easy re-purposing of content. The speaker will examine how PDF web capture allows the conversion of web pages to PDF documents with all links intact for archiving, and convenient online and offline review. The session provides a technical perspective on the role of XML in document structure and how PDF documents can be deployed as stable containers for exchanging transactional XML data.

Portable Data and Portable Behavior: Binding Java and XML

What are web services? Why will the new XML standards fare any better than the language-independent service abstraction efforts of the past? Does the portability of the underlying language still matter? These are just a few of the tough questions explored in this presentation. This presentation will focus on both the benefits and challenges of implementing truly portable solutions that utilize Java and XML. WSDL, UDDI, SOAP and JAXB are just a few of the technologies that will be examined and discussed. Because Enterprise Application Integration (EAI) was the first technology segment to leverage what we now know as "web services", we will explore the convergence of integration and development as we draw conclusions from the lessons learned in EAI over the years. Lastly, we will unpack and categorize the myriad standards that are currently emerging in the effort to bind Java and XML. Please join us for this fast-paced, highly-interactive session that will focus on the relevant issues around deploying Java and XML-based solutions.

XForms, the Next Generation of Internet Markup

HTML forms are an essential for Web applications to interact with Web users. However, the Forms Module in HTML is severely outdated and limited. The W3C is working hard on the next generation to be called XForms. It should become a Recommendation around the beginning of 2002, although we are already seeing implementations of the user interface.

This paper will present the advantages of XForms such as:

  • Easier interactive user interaction with the Web page
  • Integration with XHTML and other namespaces
  • Platform and device independence
  • Separation of user interface from data and logic
  • A data model with defined data types and data logic
  • XML and Unicode used to exchange data

A new and expanded set of elements and attributes above and beyond HTML will include the following features:

  • Fields as data types with field groups as typed records
  • Constraints - on or between fields and groups - covering input validation, calculated fields and data dependencies
  • Regional data input formats for currency values, phone numbers, dates and postal addresses
  • Templates for defining reusable field groups
  • Shared information for multi-page forms, including multiple pages per HTML document, and suspend/resume modes
  • New kinds of input protocols, e.g. microphones, cameras, scanners and pen-based input for signatures and Signed forms.

The Fusion of XML and Peer-to-Peer for e-Business

Using XML, companies are implementing Peer-to-Peer Content Networking technology for e-business by creating virtual repositories of internal and external business-critical information. XML is a powerful tool for enabling information to be published and accessed within enterprises. XML-based content can be dynamically formatted, allowing it to be published to any platform without changing any of the source content. Peer-to-peer solutions can allow fast integration of legacy content, allowing companies to bridge the gap while converting to XML. XML enabled Peer-to-Peer Content Networks can allow employees in distributed offices (such as Baker & McKenzie LLP, with 60 offices worldwide) to manage, access and exchange content, regardless of its location.

Enterprise Portals: Powering Mission-Critical Applications

The Internet has ushered in a business revolution, creating a shift in the way business is conducted. Despite the transformations that are underway, competition is forcing enterprises to implement collaborative business solutions that integrate internal systems and leverage existing technology to harness the knowledge and data that resides amongst suppliers, partners and customers.

Portal technologies are well suited for enterprises with extensive supply chains to integrate mission-critical applications such as Supply Chain Management, workflow, knowledge management, business intelligence, and eCommerce. Those that can support open standards can be easily integrated into a company's existing infrastructure.

Support of J2EE and .NET interfaces for integrating the business logic with other backend servers are important for interoperability. iManage found that portal software makes extensive use of XML for data-aggregation and based standards like XSL/XSLT for user-interface customization.
