<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>ABSTRACT:&nbsp; We are observing a confluence of =
several different aspects: software components, software as a service, =
and an ever-growing space of Internet and Web standards.&nbsp; Over the =
past year all major players in the software industry have announced =
their support of XML Web Services in one form or another.&nbsp; So, are =
services here to displace components?&nbsp; Or objects?&nbsp; This talk =
is focused on drawing boundaries that help to understand the key =
concepts without obstructing the path towards future development.&nbsp; =
Questioning several of the traditionally assumed essential properties =
of objects seems to be one key to progress. </FONT></P>

<P><FONT SIZE=3D2>SPEAKER:&nbsp; After years of both academic and =
entrepreneurial experience, Clemens joined Microsoft Research in =
Redmond, Washington in early 1999, where he works on furthering the =
principles, technologies, and methods supporting component =
software.&nbsp; He is the author of the award-winning book =
&quot;Component Software: Beyond Object-Oriented Programming&quot; =
(Addison Wesley), now in its second edition.&nbsp; Together with Dave =
Messerschmitt of UC Berkeley he wrote &quot;Software Ecosystem: =
Understanding an Indispensable Technology and Industry&quot; (MIT =
Press, early 2003).&nbsp; Clemens received his Masters in Electrical =
Engineering in 1987 from the Aachen Institute of Technology, in =
Germany. He received his PhD in Computer Science in 1992 from ETH =
Zurich in Switzerland.&nbsp; After a postdoctoral fellowship at the =
International Computer Science Institute at UC Berkeley, he received =
tenure as associate professor at the Queensland University of =
Technology, Australia, where he continues to hold an adjunct =
professorship.&nbsp; He is a cofounder of Oberon microsystems, with its =
recent spinoff, esmertec inc, both based in Zurich.&nbsp; Clemens' =
