in the general sessions, you will be provided with the tools you
need to lead the next generation of development.
There are over 200 sessions listed on the Agenda Builder. You
may browse the information as a guest, or using the ID and password
received at registration time, you may build your own personalized
agenda for the conference. http://developerworks.cybercentral.com/ibm0502/web/login.jsp
Also, while you're at IBM developerWorks Live!, visit the Solutions
Center -- a showcase of IBM e-Business technology and Business Partner
solutions and services. This outstanding information hub will provide

you need. A list of sponsors and exhibitors can be found on the

By Mr. Collin Bruce, Director, Strategic Accounts, Communication

The world has
gone through the use of "a slap on the back, a shake of a hand,
signs or characters written on walls, leaves or parchment, names
written on paper," to the use of tokens, smart cards, magnetic stripe
cards, pins, and passwords. What happened to the good old-fashioned
signature, the most recognized and accepted symbol of intent? In
today's world, how can we make efficient use of the "signature?"
In what ways can we improve upon it? At this Pub, come hear about
advancements in handwritten signatures and biometrics. Mr. Bruce
will discuss how these advancements are being deployed today and
what they mean for you as an individual and consumer, including
