---------

* "From Heritage Systems to the ITDialTone"
  Marc Laureys, The Open Group (formerly OSF & X/Open), Belgium

  (duration: 0h25)

  Isn't technology wonderful? How often we hear that phrase - usually in
  a very sarcastic tone after the copier breaks down, the printer runs
  out of ink or our laptop battery runs out just before a big meeting.
  However, if you really think about it, technology is wonderful - after
  all, we are all making our livings trying to make it work! The problem
  is that we are all trying more or less as individuals and individual
  companies, and not as a collective group. There has to be a better
  way.

  The Open Group is a leading industry consortium of users and vendors.
  Leading that better way is exactly what The Open Group is in business
  to do and what this presentation will be talking about. The Open Group
  has coined the term "The IT DialTone" to capture what we believe is
  needed - a common, consistent infrastructure that enables true
  Internet and Intranet-based business.

  This presentation will give an overview of The Open Group, who we are
  and what we do, and why we think of ourselves as the United Nations of
  Information Technology. It will address the reason why all of us
  should be concerned with infrastructure issues, the dilemma of the
  attractiveness of internet-based business and the interoperability
  challenges that are keeping most of us from realizing the tremendous
  potential of internet-based business. Then the presentation will
  introduce the possibilities for making IT work better for all of us,
  what we at The Open Group call the IT DialTone. This will give you a
  better understanding of the role The Open Group will play in helping
  to bring about the IT DialTone, and how you could participate.


* Tutorial: "CORBA and Ada 95 for High Performance Distributed Software
  Components"
  Bill Beckwith, Objective Interface Systems, U.S.A.

  (duration: 1h15 + 1h15)

  Description: The Ada 95 programming language is a powerful and
  flexible language that provides a safe environment for creating
  reliable software. The OMG Common Object Request Broker Architecture
  (CORBA) is a flexible environment for creating potentially distributed
  software components. The marriage of these two technologies results in
  a uniquely powerful environment for creating high performance,
  reliable, distributed software components. This tutorial will
  introduce the principles of CORBA-based architecture, and cover the
  development processes of a distributed object architecture based on
  CORBA and Ada 95.

  Intended audience: Experienced Ada programmers with an interest in
  learning how to write distributed applications more productively, or
  those wishing to use CORBA technologies as a means of integrating
  existing applications.


* Vendor Presentation: "Building Fast, Predictable Systems with Objective
  Interface's ORBexpress for Ada 95 CORBA Object Request Broker"
  Bill Beckwith, Objective Interface Systems, U.S.A.

  (duration: 0h15)

  Objective Interface Systems announced recently ORBexpress (TM), a new
  Object Request Broker (ORB) product for the Ada 95 Object-Oriented
  Programming community. ORBexpress is the successor to Orbix/Ada.
  ORBexpress is solely developed by Objective Interface, a company
  focused on the design and delivery of leading-edge object technology
  for developers using the Ada 95 language. Objective Interface is
  actively producing and marketing ORBexpress worldwide.

  In addition, Objective Interface and IONA Technologies announced a
  non-exclusive global reseller agreement. Under the agreement, IONA
  will resell OIS' ORBexpress to IONA's customer base. The new reseller
  agreement replaces an existing co-development agreement and recognizes
  Objective Interface's strengths in Ada development.


* "An overview of DCE"
  Yolande Berbers, K.U.Leuven, Belgium

  (duration: 1h00)

  DCE stands for Distributed Computing Environment and was built by the
  Open Software Foundation (OSF). The primary goal of DCE is to provide
  a coherent, seamless environment that can serve as a platform for
  running large, complex distributed applications. This environment runs
  on top of existing operating systems and consists of several
  components: a threads component, a remote procedure call component, a
  directory service, a security service, a time service, and optionally
  a file service.

  The presentation will give an overview of the history, goals, concepts
  and models of DCE. Emphasis will be put on the remote procedure call
  component, the directory service and the security service. DCE, which
  uses a procedural programming approach, will also be contrasted to
  object oriented CORBA.


* Vendor Presentation: "OrbAda, the Top Graph'X CORBA solution"
  Bernard Maudry, Top Graph'X, France

  (duration: 0h15)

  CORBA services and clients can be implemented in any programming
  language, provided that a CORBA development environment is available
  for use with the chosen programming language. Top Graph'X has
  developed OrbAda, an Ada95 ORB with the associated Ada95 development
  environment.


* Experience Report: "Building a Conceptual Object Model"
  Kor Molenmaker, Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN), the
  Netherlands

  (duration: 0h30)

  At Marin software applications are used in hydrodynamic research
  projects. Traditionally these applications were build vertically,
  containing all items from the User Interface down to the numerical
  algorithms. Vertically building of applications creates a lot of
  overhead for maintenance, there is hardly any reuse and the "wheel is
  invented over and over again".

  To tackle these problems, development of software applications had to
  be changed radically to component based development. For component
  based development to become successful it is very crucial to create a
  consistent concept object model. This concept object model describes
  the architecture of the objects and is the baseline for development of
  the software applications. The concept object model is structured with
  hierarchical layers with components. The communication protocol
  between the layers is CORBA. The component interface description is
  done in CORBA IDL (Interface Description Language). By using the IDL
  to describe the interface between the components, the components
  itself can be implemented using the most desired programming language.
  This can vary between Java, Ada, C++, or FORTRAN, depending upon the
  component, as long as the CORBA IDL vendor supports the mapping from
  IDL to this language.

  This presentation is about the experience of designing the concept
  Objectmodel and the hierarchical layers architecture. The first step
  in the design of the concept objectmodel is to design Use Cases which
  describe the current company processes. Working from those Use Cases
  the business object can be identified. Finally these business object
  can be grouped together to make the logical architecture. This
  presentation includes these steps from Use Cases to logical
  architecture. Having the logical architecture the next step is to
  start building applications according to the logical architecture. The
  framework for building those new applications is the physical
  architecture. This architecture describes the tools and techniques
  which are used to implement the components in the logical
  architecture. Currently the tools and techniques from the physical
  architecture are being used to develop part of the logical
  architecture. This presentation also includes experiences in the
  development of these components for new software applications.

  The aim of this presentation is to show the lifecycle of component
  based development. First the Use Cases, followed by the conceptual
  objectmodel, and the logical architecture describe the logical
  architecture of the components. Second the physical architecture to
  describe the tools and techniques for actually building the
  components. And finally the experience of building the first
  components for a software application.


* "Multi-Partition programming with GLADE: an overview"
  Cyrille Comar, Ada Core Technologies (ACT) & ACT Europe, France

  (duration: 1h00)

  This presentation describes the steps for developing a distributed
  application using standard Ada 95 features as described in Annex E of
  the Reference Manual. A special emphasis will be placed on GLADE
  specific features such as its configuration language, support for
  heterogenous configuration and replication.

* Kor Molenmaker, Maritime Research Institute Netherlands (MARIN), the
  Netherlands

  Since 1986 I have been working in the software engineering segment.
  After graduation I started to work at Hollandse Signaal Apparaten in
  Hengelo, the Netherlands. I was part of the team responsible for the
  development for host/target applications; a communication protocol for
  remote debugging, a monitor program for MC680xx processors, and a file
  management system for a disk drive. Later at HAS I became responsible
  for the new Rational/Ada and Sun/Unix environment.

  In 1990 I became a technical consultant for Rational Scandinavia.
  Located in Stockholm, Sweden, I was responsible for the technical
  support for the Rational customers in Sweden and Denmark. Part of my
  tasks was to modify and test several Rational products, like the
  adaptation for the Cross Development Facility to adapt to a special
  MC68020 board, and the maturation and testing of the newly released
  Cross Development Facility. Did several training sessions for
  customers, System managers Training Course, Object Oriented and Ada.

  In 1993 I started to work at the Maritime Simulation Centre the
  Netherlands (MSCN), located in Wageningen, the Netherlands. I was part
  of the team for the design, implementation, testing and integration of
  mathematical models for the nautical simulators, the manoeuvring, the
  engineroom and the cargohandler simulator in Ada using the Booch
  Object Oriented Design Method. As design engineer I implemented and
  integrated the pipe behavior for a trailing dredge hopper simulator,
  the steam system for the engineroom simulator. Furthermore I did the
  integration tests and the installation at the customer site of the
  cargohandler simulator, and the radar simulator.

  In my current function, since 1997, as a System Architect at the
  Maritime Research Institute Netherlands located in Wageningen, I am
  resposible for the design of the MARIN's application software. Since
  the beginning of this year the development of software at MARIN has
  changed radically to component based development. A conceptual object
  model was setup, showing the architecture of the components. Currently
  this conceptual model is used to develop new software application. I
  am responsible for the conceptual object model and for the design of
  new applications according to this object model.

* The Open Group (formerly OSF & X/Open)

  http://www.opengroup.org/

  THE OPEN GROUP is a vendor-neutral, international consortium of more
  than 300 members whose mission is to cause the creation of a viable,
  global information infrastructure that is ubiquitous, trusted,
  reliable and as easy to use as the telephone. THE OPEN GROUP's members
  represent end user organizations, including leaders in worldwide
  finance, government, academia, health care, commerce and
  telecommunications, which have combined IT budgets in excess of $22
  billion annually.

  Through extensive research with its member organizations and sponsor
  IT vendor companies, THE OPEN GROUP has acknowledged that the public
  information infrastructure today -- the Internet -- presents
  tremendous economic opportunity and has many important tools in place,
  including the World Wide Web, that give it great promise. But, the
  Internet is currently an ill-disciplined environment that has
  significant security problems associated with it. As a result, few
  companies are willing to accept the risk of committing anything
  remotely important, valuable or critical to their business operations
  onto it. To meet the needs of companies and organizations worldwide,
  THE OPEN GROUP wants to facilitate the creation of the IT DialTone: a
  secure and reliable information technology (IT) infrastructure over
  which valuable, operational business may be conducted that is as easy
  to use as the telephone.

  THE OPEN GROUP is particularly well positioned to lead the IT DialTone
  initiative. For 15 years, THE OPEN GROUP has been the industry's
  flagship standards organization, developing rich experience in the
  collaborative process to ensure technology meets the needs of users
  worldwide. With $60M in annual revenue, THE OPEN GROUP conducts four
  major activities to ensure the realization of the IT DialTone. It
  provides a vendor-neutral forum for buyers and suppliers of
  technology. That forum has led to collaborative teams who discuss ways
  of bringing innovative technologies to market. In addition, its
  Research Institute conducts advanced technology development, and its
  internationally recognized X Brand testing and product branding
  process assists the industry in achieving an interoperable, secure and
  reliable IT infrastructure that protects the investments of current
  technologies while building the critical bridges to the future.

  THE OPEN GROUP was formed in February 1996 by merging X/Open Company
  Ltd. (founded in 1984) and the Open Software Foundation (founded in
  1988). THE OPEN GROUP's nine sponsors are Digital, Fujitsu, Hewlett
  Packard, Hitachi, IBM, NCR, Novell, Siemens Nixdorf and Sun.
  Headquartered in Cambridge, MA, the Open Group can be reached on the

* Department of Computer Science, K.U.Leuven, Belgium

  http://www.cs.kuleuven.ac.be/

  The faculty of engineering of the K.U.Leuven was one of the first in
  Europe to recognize the importance of computer science in education
  and research. Already in 1962 a course towards a degree of "Master of
  Science in Applied Mathematics" ("burgerlijk ingenieur in de
  toegepaste wiskunde") was started. The main subjects were computers,
  programming and numerical mathematics. A few years later the "Applied
  Mathematics and Programming Group" ("Afdeling Toegepaste Wiskunde en
  Programmatie") was founded. A number of undergraduate mathematics
  courses were taught by the members of the group. At that time also a
  course in numerical mathematics and a programming course were
  introduced in the first year as a basic part of the engineering
  education. The real start of the department came in 1971 when a full
  program for "Master of Engineering in Computer Science" ("burgerlijk
  ingenieur in de computerwetenschappen") was started. The group
  expanded quickly and in 1981 it became the Department of Computer
  Science. The Department has two divisions: Informatics, and Numerical
  Analysis and Applied Mathematics.
