Subject: WebTech Tues 4/16 7pm IBM - CapeClear - Web Services

Hi everyone.

This month's WebTech meeting will be on Tuesday, April 16, 7-9 pm,
at the IBM SPC in Waltham.  Details and directions will be available at
the group website:  http://www.acm.org/chapters/webtech.

This month's meeting will feature a presentation by Aian Armstrong from
CapeClear Software on Software Integration with Web Services.  See
www.capeclear.com for more information about CapeClear.

This is sure to be a terrific presentation, so plan to recover from your
tax-paying blues and come out for some technical enrichment!  I hope to
see you there.

-- Dan Jacobs, chairman

Iain Armstrong, a Senior Systems Engineer from Cape Clear Software, will
present on the topic of Web Services. Iain will give an in-depth
overview, and
review the following topics:
* In a market of convoluted terms and acronyms: What are Web Services?
  A discussion of how the market arrived where we it is today.
* Discussion on Web Services standards (XML, SOAP, UDDI, WDSL).
* Tactical use case for Web Services today (lightweight application
  integration) versus the future vision of Web Services (UDDI and
millions of
  Web Services)
* Real world demonstration using Cape Connect and Cape Studio with the
  application server (BEA, WebSphere, iPlanet, VisiBroker, Orbix) of your
  choice
* Open discussion - usually a 30 - 40 minute candid and lively discussion.
