In keeping with the longstanding SYS-CON tradition of being at the very forefront of software development with all its online and offline resources, SYS-CON Media & Events jointly today announced a double whammy, launching both 'Open Web Developer's Journal' (htt p://openweb.sys-con.com) and 'Open Web Developer Summit' (http://openweb.s ys-con.com) - to be held for the first time in New York City April 21-22, 2008.

This session will cover how to build powerful presentation capabilities for data reporting and display into a JBoss application by utilizing JasperReports. JasperReports is an open source Java reporting library that has the ability to deliver rich content onto the screen, to the printer or into PDF, HTML, XLS, CSV and XML files.

IP based Telecommunication has revolutionized the way in which we communicate and conduct business. It is hoped that JSLEE (Java Service Logic Execution Environment) will unleash a major revolution in the Java IP Telecom services industry in the same way that the EJB specification revolutionized the application of Java to the Enterprise. The architecture and major programming concepts of the SLEE specification, different implementation choices that are allowed by the SLEE specification, and the ongoing implementation of SLEE on the JBOSS platform as part of the Mobicents open source telephony platform will be described.

Businesses are relying more frequently on open source software to power their initiatives. With this move towards open source come new challenges. This presentation provides an overview of La Quinta's migration to JBoss, with information that will be useful to anyone considering a migration effort or a new JBoss-powered project. Topics include a project synopsis, business and technical drivers, the decision-making process, benefits, lessons learned, and best practices. This presentation will appeal to business and technical users.

The presentation will describe a case study of usage of JBoss in developing an application solution for the management of PDH, SDH and ATM transport networks. The benefits of choosing a J2EE AS are introduced, including: Facilitates support for integration of legacy components of the NetViewer Suite, therefore allowing to migrate one component at a time, rather than abruptly discarding everything and restarting from scratch; Facilitates implementation of chosen data model (TMF 814); Facilitates implementation of the northbound interfaces SNMP, CORBA, OSSJ/XML/SOAP. Why JBoss is the preferred J2EE AS for this project: technical problems faced with other J2EE application servers are described, ranging from bugs to integration issues; the absence of faults and the very good performance of Jboss are described; the economic advantages.

This presentation describes the decision making process towards a J2EE architecture using JBoss and analyzes this architecture's advantages within the context of an Advanced Process Control (APC) application running in a manufacturing environment. Catalyst is an application framework that enables customers to create, implement, and maintain factory-wide APC solutions. The evaluation details that led to the selection of JBoss will be presented. Additionally, a high level system overview is provided describing the communication paths between process control requesters and the system.

This presentation will demonstrate how to implement a monitoring system using JBoss Application Server to achieve the following functionality: Operating System Monitors (CPU Usage, Memory Usage, Disk Usage, Thread Counts, Ect.) Heterogeneous OS Support (Linux, Windows NT, Pluggable and Extensible OS Monitors); Application Server Monitoring (Application Data Polling, RDBMS SQL Based Performance Stats).

The first annual JBoss users' conference and exhibition, JBoss World 2005, will be held at the Omni/CNN Center, March 1-2, 2005, in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. JBoss World will help you maximize your understanding of the capabilities and architecture of the various JBoss solutions through a comprehensive agenda filled with educational sessions, interactive discussions, customer case studies, product demonstrations, partner displays, and networking opportunities.

Betfair.com is the worlds leading online 'Betting Exchange' where punters can both bet for (back) and bet against (lay) the outcome of an event. This session is concerned with reviewing the first phase and planned further phases of the Betfair re-architecture project. This includes: An overview of Betfair's previous architecture and its limitations; Betfair's new architecture, including the role of JBoss; How the previous architecture was reviewed and analysed; How the new system architecture was conceived and designed; How a technology platform was evaluated and chosen; How continuous business evolution was managed during re-architecture; Cutover to the new platform; Lessons learned; The second phase of re-architecture; Betfair's future plans.
