    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.
