Steve Vinoski
IONA


Steve Vinoski is Chief Engineer of Product Innovation for IONA Technologies in Waltham, MA. Steve is also an IONA Fellow. Steve joined IONA in December 1996 to start IONA's US-based Engineering organization and to lead the development of IONA's next-generation Adaptive Runtime Technology (ART), a highly flexible and fast distributed computing engine that underlies IONA's products.

As of the start of 2003, Steve has authored or co-authored approximately 40 highly-regarded publications about distributed computing. He and Michi Henning are the co-authors of "Advanced CORBA Programming with C++", published in January 1999 by Addison Wesley Longman and widely acknowledged as the "CORBA Bible," and he has written the popular "Object Interconnections" column on distributed object computing for the C/C++ Users Journal (and formerly for SIGS C++ Report) since 1995 with Dr. Douglas C. Schmidt. He also writes the "Toward Integration" column for the IEEE Internet Computing magazine.

Presentation: "Middleware Integration with Web Services"

Wednesday 9:00 - 9:45, Conference Hall

Many people consider Web Services to be a SOAP/HTTP replacement for existing RPC systems. In this talk, Steve presents the real value of Web Services: middleware integration. Due to reorganizations, mergers, acquisitions, and consolidations, today's enterprise systems comprise multiple middleware systems that somehow must be made to talk to each other. A practical solution is to take Web Services well beyond their simple SOAP beginnings and maximize their value by employing them as "middleware for middleware." Steve focuses his discussion on how different projects, such as Apache WSIF and IONA Artix, use WSDL to abstract away underlying service mechanisms and allow disparate middleware services to interconnect.

Presentation: "Panel discussion:CORBA vs. ICE and Standard vs. Innovation"

Wednesday 14:15 - 15:00 Conference Hall

Choosing to use any technology, such as a middleware technology like CORBA or ICE in a software project, has implications for parameters like:
* Application performance
* Productivity
* Portability
* Interoperability
* Vendor dependency and lock-in
* Availability of developers with knowledge about the technology
* Long term availability


How does ICE compare with CORBA on these parameters, and how important is the CORBA standard and other open, formal standards to software development ?
The discussion is headed by a unique collection of the worlds leading CORBA, ICE and distributed computing experts.
