"Building Reliable Web Services"

By Mr. Frank Cohen, Founder of PushToTest & Member, Technology Council, Silicon Valley World Internet Center
5:00 - 7:00 p.m. Open to the Public. The Pub talk begins at 6:00 p.m.

Web Services have already become the new standard for building highly interoperable and dynamic information systems. Enterprises such as Elsevier Science and 2Wire are basing their next generation infrastructures on Web Service protocols such as SOAP and WSDL that run on their existing Web infrastructures.

At this Pub Talk, Frank Cohen, Founder of PushToTest, will discuss building reliable and scalable Web Services. He will show how enterprise choices for Web Service infrastructure are critical to deploying well performing, highly reliable, and scalable systems. Mr. Cohen will demonstrate how PushToTest's free open-source TestMaker tool solves problems facing software developers, QA analysts, and IT managers every day and how PushToTest is succeeding with a business plan based on open-source technology.
