Introduction

Main Talk - The JBoss World Keynote Demo

This live demo of JBoss's latest technologies  wowed the audience at JBoss World. I'm not going to give the secret away for those of you who have not seen it, but it was delivered to a large standing room only audience and has had a lot of superlatives used to describe it. This is one not to miss.

Abstract

The traditional role of middleware in the datacenter has been challenged to expand and meet the ubiquitous computing demands that are becoming more prevalent. The way applications are built, deployed, integrated, and managed must accommodate the rapidly evolving mobile and cloud paradigms, without sacrificing security or performance. Red Hat is at the epicenter of driving the standards and technologies with its JBoss middleware portfolio, which enables developers, architects, and IT executives to increase return on their existing IT investments and spur innovation in next-generation application environments.

Please join Red Hat's Dr. Mark Little,  senior director of middleware engineering, Kevin Conner and Sanne Grinovero as they discuss the technologies and demonstrate Red Hat’s vision for how JBoss Enterprise Middleware will drive social, mobile, and cloud computing.

If you are a twitter user please bring your mobile phone with you to take part in the demo.

Speakers

Dr Mark Little is the Senior Director of Middleware Engineering at Red Hat. He sits on a large number of standards bodies and has presented at a wide range of Conferences. Prior to working at Red Hat, Mark has been heavily involved in transactions at HP, Bluestone and of course Arjuna.

Sanne Grinovero is a member of the Hibernate, Infinispan and JGroups teams, specializing on scalable search engines (focusing on Apache Lucene) and making sure that Hibernate based JEE applications scale nicely on cloud environments while providing a consistent developer experience.
