Session A: Convention Center _ Ballroom Invited Talk: XML, Objects, and Communication over the Internet Matthew Fuchs, CommerceOne 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? 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. Session B: Convention Center _ A201, A205, A207, A209 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.

Session A: Convention Center _ Ballroom Invited Talk: Analyzing Object-Oriented Software Architectures Rick Kazman, Software Engineering Institute The object-oriented and software architecture communities have been tackling a partially overlapping set of design and analysis problems for the past decade or more, and have been doing this work largely without reference to each other. The time for this is past; for both economic and cultural reasons, most developers of large, complex software systems these days need to have a working knowledge of both areas. This talk will provide an overview of architectural design and analysis, discuss its costs and benefits, and show that it can be used synergistically with object-oriented design and analysis. Rick Kazman is a Senior Member of the Technical Staff at the Software Engineering Institute of Carnegie Mellon University and Adjunct Professor at the Universities of Waterloo and Toronto. His primary research interests are software architecture, design tools, and software visualization. He is the author of over 50 papers, and co-author of several books, including "Software Architecture in Practice." Kazman received a B.A. and M.Math from the University of Waterloo, an M.A. from York University, and a Ph.D. from Carnegie Mellon University. Session B: Convention Center _ A201, A205, A207, A209 Ubiquitous Computing A new and important research area has variously been called pervasive, invisible, or ubiquitous computing. This area is very broad, but roughly speaking is about delivery of information to/from computing appliances: sensors, PDA's, cell-phones, set-top boxes. The development of computational models and applications for a distributed network spanning these devices will profoundly change the future of computing. The area is currently in its infancy, and spans a variety of disciplines. The purpose of this panel is to decribe that future, and to talk about how the OO community can help shape its development.

In this panel, we'll explore how a combination of XML and object technology can have a dramatic impact on the future of networked applications, or not. Our panelists represent a spectrum of expertise, ranging from vendors to practitioners. They will share their views of the synergy between objects and XML, including: Is there a synergy, are we exploiting it? Or is there no connection- do objects get in the way? What about types - do they help or hinder? Click here for an expanded description. Moderator: Bernard Horan, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Invited Talk: Convention Center _ Ballroom The Objects of E-Commerce Stu Feldman, Institute for Advanced Commerce, IBM As e-commerce rapidly moves from selling T-shirts on the Web to being a significant fraction of the world economy and essential to businesses everywhere, so will the structure of the systems that support it evolve from informal web sites to carefully organized distributed systems with high standards of availability, trustworthiness, and maintainability. Yet the e-commerce systems must also be rapidly changeable and open to spontaneous interactions. This talk will address some of the challenges of this transition, and ways that sophisticated object systems will address the problems. Stu Feldman did his academic work (AB, Princeton and Ph.D., MIT) in astrophysics and mathematics. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and a Fellow of the ACM. He has been a member of the Board of the Computing Research Association and chair of ACM SIGPLAN and is founding chair of the new ACM SIG on E-Commerce. He was a computer science researcher at Bell Labs and a research manager at Bellcore before joining IBM in mid-1995. He has published research in software engineering, programming languages, scientific computing and other areas of computer science. He was also architect for a large new line of software products at Bellcore. At IBM's T. J. Watson Research Center, Feldman leads a department doing research in a wide variety of network-related technologies and application enablers, including parallel databases, e-commerce, pervasive computing, anti-virus, and advanced multimedia. He is also the Director of IBM's Institute for Advanced Commerce, an organization created to increase IBM's connections to the outside research world as well as to accelerate creation of new technologies for support of e-Business.

Session A: Convention Center _ A201, A205, A207, A209 Is UML also an Architectural Description Language? The architecture of a system defines its high-level structure as a collection of interacting components. Most industrial architects use informal box and arrow diagrams and idioms to describe architectures. Recognizing the deficiencies of using ad-hoc and informal notations to describe architecture, the software engineering research community has pioneered Architectural Description Languages (ADLs). UML was designed "to create a set of semantics and notation that adequately addresses all scales of architectural complexity, across all domains." The issue facing the panel is how far have the UML developers succeeded in meeting this goal and what remains to be done. Some of the specific questions to be addressed are: What are the key lessons that UML has learned (and ignored) from the research on ADLs? Does UML have the right concepts for expressing architectures and architectural styles? Are the semantics of UML sufficiently well defined to allow architectural analysis? Is UML's object-oriented bias a help or hindrance when describing architectures? Click here for an expanded description.

Session A: Convention Center _ A201, A205, A207, A209 The OMG Software Process Engineering Architecture The RFI for a software process engineering architecture had six submissions by the 1 March 1999 deadline. The first and most important question was whether the Object Management Group (OMG) should be concerned with standardizing process at any level. Each panelist, all of whom are either involved in one of the RFI responses and/or are well-known authors on the topic of OO process, will make their position statement on the value to the industry of a possible RFP and subsequent adoption of a process framework technology. The subsequent discussion will focus on the abstraction level of most value for such a standardization effort, as well as the scope of required submissions to any RFP that may be issued.
