Matthew Fuchs, CommerceOne Dr. Fuchs is the chief architect for XML related technologies at CommerceOne, an industry leader in electronic commerce. He co-authored the "Schema for Object Oriented XML" and designed its object-oriented features (and the software that exploits them). He received his Ph.D. from NYU in 1995, where his work on mobile object systems started his fixation on using XML (and its SGML predecessor) as a metalanguage for describing agent communication languages. Dr. Fuchs was a founding member of the W3C working group that created XML and is a member of the XML Schema Working Group. Before CommerceOne, he was a researcher at Walt Disney Imagineering and at WVU's Concurrent Engineering Research Center.

Invited Talk:
XML, Objects, and Communication over the Internet
In just 3 years, XML has moved from a guerrilla movement by a bunch of SGML geeks hiding out in the swamps of a W3C mailing list to mainstage in future developments of the Internet. In particular, it has been proposed as the language to replace EDI for b2b electronic commerce transactions, a role which would previously have appeared destined to CORBA or DCOM (and even there, XML may become the format for encoding remote invocations). It's just another step to being the language for all agent-to-agent communication in the network for the 21st century. What is it about XML that makes these claims appear to be more than just another landgrab? Can XML manage these amazing feats? If not, what must it do to fulfil its ambition? And how do OO technologies relate to this quest?
Objects and Agents: Convergence, Compromise, or Collision?
The mixing of Agent technology with the prevailing object-oriented/component-based applications environment can have many possible outcomes, primarily: collision and repulsion, or cooperation and symbiosis. In order for the latter to occur, a common forum of communication and understanding between academia and industry is necessary. This panel is a forum where participants from both environments can achieve a better understanding of each other's needs and offerings, and begin to assess the emergence of intelligent agents into the mainstream.

Are Components Objects?
There has been a rapid rise of interest in component-based technology. It has often been said that components make objects obsolete. This panel will discuss a rigorous definition of a component, stripping away the obfuscation currently in the user domain. The panelists will be asked to consider both theory and practice (present and likely future). Components will be considered at all stages of the lifecycle and the unresolved questions in component technology highlighted.

The Accused: Chief Prosecutor: Kent Beck, Daedalos Consulting The so-called Gang of Four are the authors of the landmark Design Patterns book, which first made its appearance five years ago at OOPSLA `94. This year, this nefarious cabal, John Vlissides, Ralph Johnson, Richard Helm, and Erich Gamma, will be brought to justice for crimes against the field. Charges will include their cultivation of a cult of personality, training novices to behave like experts, and exhibiting an utter disregard for traditional standards of academic originality. The audience will serve as the jury, and will also be invited to provide testimony. Denunciations as well as support from GOF apologists will be in order. Click here for an expanded description.
