Fusion of Technologies Discussed in Silicon Valley
by Ken North
Media Focuses on Experts Discussing the Marriage of SQL, XML, Web Services and Grid Computing
A panel discussion at Software Development 2004 featured researchers and standards
architects discussing software trends and the fusion of software technologies.
It was part of a rich conference program of keynotes, technical presentations
and panel presentations. Because of the panel's subject matter, or perhaps because
it included software
industry icons, there was extensive media coverage of the panel (below).
The panel explored such topics as the future of XQuery, the state of open source software,
the standards turf wars, and the future of database managers and RFID
technologies. There was considerable discussion about the panel in web
logs. Links to trade press articles appear at the bottom of this
page.
 
The panel of experts included:
- Rick Cattell (author and Distinguished
Engineer, Sun Microsystems)
- Peter Coffee (author and Technology
Editor, eWEEK)
- Daniela Florescu (co-editor of W3C specs and Senior Software Engineer,
BEA)
- Jim Gray (author and Distinguished Engineer,
Microsoft Research)
- Jim Kleewein (Distinguished Engineer, IBM Silicon
Valley Lab)
- Jim Melton (author and Editor of the ISO/IEC SQL standard,
Oracle Corporation)
The panel was recorded for audio and video playback. The audio is available in two parts. Running time for part 1
is 39:48.
