 Abstract: "Distributed Computing in Java"

 =========================================
   Java, with its notion of a virtual machine and the ability to safely
   move code around a network, offers a fundamental change in the rules
   that have governed distributed computing over the past 20
   years. This talk will discuss some of the ways these changes have
   effected existing Java components (such as the Remote Method
   Invocation system) and will make some wild speculations about how
   they could effect distributed computing components in the future.

 Biography:

 =====================

   Jim Waldo is a Senior Staff Engineer at Sun Microsystems
   Laboratories, East Coast Division, working in the areas of reliable
   large scale distribution systems. Prior to joining Sun, he worked in
   distributed systems and object oriented software development at
   Appolo Computer (later Hewlett Packard), where he was one of the
   original designers of what has become the Common Object Request
   Broker Architecture (CORBA)

 Directions:
 
 =====================
 
 101 South take the San Antonio North exit which will take you over
 the freeway. Turn right on Casey Ave, then right on Marine Way, then
 left on Coast Ave. Go down to the end of Coast turn right into the
 parking lot at end of street.  Building 6 will be the first one on
 the left.  You can see the sign that says building 6 (it will be
 extremely obvious).
  
 From 101 North take the San Antonio exit, and then turn right. Then
 the same directions as above.
