Title:   An XML-based architecture for Web 2.0 applications
Speaker: Daniela Florescu (Oracle)

Abstract:

There is no agreed upon definition of what Web 2.0 is but everybody
has a personal definition. I will describe in this talk my interpretation of
how a new generation of applications on the Web will be built. I will
look at the current architectures and see why they do not satisfy the
requirements of Web 2.0 (as I understand them). I will explain why I believe
that Web 2.0 applications will rely on XML not only for serialization but as a
fundamental underlying information model.

Unfortunately the existing XML stack of technologies isn't complete at
this point. I I will list all the extensions that i think will be needed in
order to fulfill the goal of an XML-based declarative information hub as a
fundamental architecture for such applications.

There will be no more Java or SQL in this new generation of  applications.
