The Internet and Web communities are bubbling over with proposals for the use of XML in network protocols and distributed applications - XML-RPC, SOAP, XMI, WebDAV, ICE and IOTP are only a few examples.
The goals of this panel is to review these and other proposals and identify their common threads, while taking into account:
- the wishes of developers for lean, lightweight protocols, and
- the commercial needs for robust technologies that will support the full weight and demands of business-to-business ecommerce systems.
The panelists hope to engage the audience in the evaluation of a range of proposals, and continue discussion that separates out the needs for common, interrelated standards.
