We plan to have a workshop with Alexander R. Krapf wednesday 13:00-15:00.
The workshop will focus on the subjects described below. You can register for the workshop by sending an email to workshop@jaoo.dk. The workshop is a part of the conference, and there is no additional fee.

Java has many advantages, chief among them its huge class library and platform portability. But ~90% of all desktops are Windows workstations and on Windows many people are writing software in VB, C++ and .NET. What are the strategies and challenges for integrating the abundance of Java code with native Windows applications?
Let's talk about concrete examples and case studies. What do people want to do? What choices do they make?
How is it working out in terms of performance, reliability, ease of implementation, maintainability, cost?
How can we improve this picture? We picture workshops to be two pr. day. We will provide each workshop with a conference speaker related to the subject. Subjects will be chosen on interest from the most people, relevance to a large group or relevance to new development.

Birds of a Feather Sessions are informal gatherings that provide a forum for discussion of a particular topic, tool, product, etc.

We imagine, that there will be a lot of sessions, that invite discussions. But the schedule is tight during the days of the conference, and finding participants with the same interests during the evenings can be hard. We hope that BOFs can help both discussing issues, and networking during the JAOO conference.

Rooms will be available for BOFs evenings from Tuesday through Thursday. Rooms may be reserved by any Conference participant on a first-come, first-served basis by signing up at the Information Booth at the Conference. There will be no advance reservations for these rooms prior to the Conference. BOF organizers are responsible for providing descriptive information for their session, which JAOO will post on the BOF notice board. BOFs require no registration or submission for participation. All JAOO participants may attend any BOF sessions.
