We had the chance this evening to meet Mr Gordon Simpson, deputy CTO of BEA Systems.

Some articles from Gordon:

    We discussed very intensively different themes, as:

  • the mid-term vision and positioning of IBM Web Sphere, BEA Web Logic and the Microsoft .NET solutions
  • the current standardization processes (J2EE, Java, etc.) in comparison with other ones, not so successful (CORBA specs)
  • the future of SUN (HW, Java)
  • the strategy of BEA concerning Linux
  • UDDI: hype or market standard?
  • offline solution and caching
  • SOA on IBM mainframes
  • Real out-of-the-box discussions and a real great person ;-) Thx Gordon for this great workshop!
