The keynote kicks off four information-packed days with over 55 technical sessions covering Java 2, Swing components, CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) A software-based interface from the Object Management Group (OMG) that allows software modules (objects) to communicate with each other no matter where they are located on a private network or the global 3, UML (Unified Modeling Language) An object-oriented analysis and design language from the Object Management Group (OMG). Many design methodologies for describing object-oriented systems were developed in the late 1980s. , EJB (Enterprise JavaBeans) A software component in Sun's J2EE platform, which provides a pure Java environment for developing and running distributed applications.

Henry Balen, executive vice president and director of technology for Xenotrope Inc., is presenting a technical session titled, Distributed Object Architectures with XML. Balen chose to present at the conference because, "It is an ideal venue for attendees to learn how to develop a roadmap and strategy for integrating CORBA into their application development. Component Development '99 addresses the needs of anyone seeking to accelerate software development by moving to component technology." Balen is an authority in his field and primary author of the forthcoming book, DISTRIBUTED OBJECT ARCHITECTURE WITH CORBA, from SIGS/Cambridge University Press. In addition, Component Development '99 is packed with a dynamic display of innovative products, hands-on product education sessions and booth giveaways from several vendors including Flashline.com, Sterling Software, Rogue Wave Software, IMI IMI International Masonry Institute (Washington, DC) IMI Israel Military Industries IMI Institute of the Motor Industry IMI International Market Insight IMI Imposto Municipal Sobre Imóveis (Portugal) Systems, Semaphore semaphore (sĕm`əfôr'), device for the visible transmission of messages.
