There is a lot of interest in the role and use of Enterprise Java
and Enterprise Java Beans, but most of it is focused on new web
and e-business applications. Despite all the fuss, e-business application
development isn't the only game in town, not by a long shot. So,

systems development? Mark Cathcart, IBM Corporate Technology Strategist,
will discuss some of the key issues and review some key corporate
customer development projects he has been involved in.
