[Embedlets-dev] Embedlets group JavaOne presentation proposals

[Ted K. <tk...@ya...>]

Here are my thoughts on the Embedlets Group submitting presentation proposals
for the JavaOne 2004 conference (proposals are due by Friday).

1) A session proposal devoted to the Enterprise Outpost class of devices which
is targeted toward J2EE developers.  These session's content should include the
following:

a) Give some background information about the Embedlet's group.

b) Explain why companies would want their backend systems to be able to
directly monitor and control the company's internal processes.

c) Explain how the open source Enterprise Outpost class of device is designed
to all a company's IT support personnel to take an Enterprise Outpost anywhere
inside the company, attach it to a process, plug it into the intranet and
configure it to automatically integrate with the company's backend Enterprise
system.

d) Explain how either Web Services or JXTA/JINI based JackNet can be selected
as the communications mechanism used to talk with the backend Enterprise
system.

e) Demonstrate using a live Enterprise Outpost to feed data into a J2EE system.

f) Indicate which vendor's booths in the Java Pavilion can be visited in order
to get a closer look at Enterprise Outpost class devices.

g) Describe how J2EE developers can come to the Embedlets site in order to get
more information on Enterprise Outpost class devices along with free support
via an Embedlets email list.



2) A BOF devoted to the Embedlets group where Embedded Java developers can meet
in order to discuss the group's present and future goals.

I am volunteering to create and submit these two proposals and any feedback
that people may have on them is gladly welcomed.

Also, if anyone else has an Embedlets-related session or BOF proposal idea that
they would like to submit, feel free to post it to the list.


Finally, I think it should be a goal of the Embedlets group to eventually
encourage Sun to add an Embedded Java track to the JavaOne conference.  It is
my belief that our group will have the resources needed to provide most of the
speakers for such a track when the time comes.  In addition to this, I also
think we will have the capability to attract enough traditional Embedded
Developers to the conference to justify it.

One step at a time though...
