The themes for 2002 are as follows:
Are you Agile
Web Services
J2EE Technology
J2EE Applied
Java Everywhere
Tools for Software Development
Software Architecture
The "Tomorrow Track"
In addition to these, there might be a few off-beat talks, or a
keynote speaker who doesn't fit, but in general these will be the
themes. The following few sections outline our ideas for these themes.
ARE YOU AGILE?
In recent years, advances in methods for developing software has been
highly focused on so called "agile software development processes".
We would like to cover both best practices and new ideas for pushing
the software development process. In this track, we'll be inviting
both "gurus" that are the ones defining what agile means, as well as
developers, managers and customers that can report from their
experiences.
WEB SERVICES
These days it seems that everyone is shouting "web services"
everywhere. We'll be covering both fundamentals of web services, but
also more critical reviews of where this technology is going.
J2EE TECHNOLOGY
As the J2EE technology continues to solidify, we are still focused on
bringing the best of J2EE technology news to the conference. The
speakers here includes some of the top people defining where the
technology is moving, and why. We'll also have hard-core coverage of
J2EE performance, and techniques for optimizing your J2EE applications.
J2EE APPLIED
Now, it is fine to hear about all the new J2EE techhonolgies comming
up, but most developers are finding challenges in handling and
learning the technology today. In the JE22 Applied track, we'll focu
on how to be sucessful with todays J2EE techonolgy, understanding the
pros and cons of various approaches, and so on.

TOOLS FOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
The field of software development tools is largely controlled by a few
large players, and the subject of tools is often not covered at
software development conferences. We'd like to make up for this,
inviting some of the key architects behind the major development tools
to come and explain the hows and whys of their designs.
SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE
Software architecture and methods are considered as two key success
factors for every serious software development project. A high-quality
software architecture is a prerequisite for applications that want to
meet both their functional and non-functional requirements. Software
development methods aim at creating such software architectures in a
precise and constructive manner. Yet it still is surprisingly hard to
build high-quality software architectures, even with modern software
development methods, so we'd like to explore the secrets of such
architectures as well what modern software development methods
contribute to building them.
JAVA EVERYWHERE (UBIQUITOUS / PERVASIVE COMPUTING)
Recent years have seen Java clients extend into practically every
little device there is. Mostly, this has been the case with mobile
phones and PDA-like computers, but we are starting to see Java many
more places, and put to use in a wealth of different ways. Here we'd
like to present advances in "small Javas" and the challenges that lie
in making Java real in such cramped spaces.
THE TOMORROW TRACK
As always we're open to new sparks and subjects. The tomorrow track
covers the future perspective - what is going on in our communities?
