Industry Leaders Ariba, Bowstreet, Epicentric, IBM, Microsoft
And Sun Microsystems Converge on Web Services World Next Week in San Jose
SAN JOSE, Calif., April 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Leaders from all sectors of
the software development arena are converging in San Jose next week to share
thought-provoking opinions, news, products and business opportunities at
the brand-new Web Services World conference, part of SD 2001. Produced by
CMP Media, the Software Development Conference and Expo is quickly gaining
momentum due in large part to the launch of Web Services World, a special
concurrent conference dedicated to the new Universal Description, Discovery
and Integration (UDDI) project.
Occurring April 10-11, Web Services World has grabbed the attention of
industry leaders Ariba, Bowstreet, Epicentric, IBM, Microsoft, and Sun
Microsystems, who are among the top exhibitors and sponsors. The
participation of these premier corporations validates SD 2001 as the
must-attend event in the software development arena. Other exhibiting
companies of Web Services World include BEA Systems, Hewlett-Packard,
HotDispatch, ILOG, NQL Inc., Patkai Networks, Tradia and Web Putty. Software
development media outlets such as Dr. Dobbs Journal, Intelligent Enterprise,
MSDN Magazine, Software Development Magazine and UDDI.org, are among the
sponsors of the event.
Leading executives Simon Phipps, chief software evangelist at Sun
Microsystems, Rod Smith, vice president of emerging technologies at IBM
Corporation, Nick Solinger, Ariba's director of product marketing, Dan'l
Lewin, VP .NET business development at Microsoft and Andy Roberts, VP and CTO
of Bowstreet, chose the Web Services World conference as the forum to address
their peers and discuss crucial topics currently facing developers involved in
the UDDI initiative. Complementing its keynote addresses and panels, WSW is
offering more than 20 educational sessions focusing on topics such as XML,
SOAP, WSDL, and RDF.
"By providing a content-rich Web Services World conference aligned with
the dynamics of the rapidly growing UDDI initiative, SD 2001 has become a
magnet for software development visionaries," said Mike Gottlieb, SD 2001 show
director. "The addition of Web Services World, our high-level exhibitor base
and keynote speakers has helped attract an anticipated 6,000 attendees from
across the software development spectrum.
SD 2001 has truly become the best industry educational forum and a
top-notch networking venue for development professionals and industry analysts
alike."
With a 30% larger expo floor and a record number of expected attendees,
SD 2001 and Web Services World have confirmed their position as the most
progressive and comprehensive educational and networking opportunity for
software development professionals. Combined, the concurrent conferences
total more than 100 exhibitors and 23 media sponsors.
