Here is a little taste of what Rob will be talking about (not too markety, I promise!)
Java Programs Meet Scale-Out Commodity Architectures
The industry trends of componentized applications (largely Java), rapid
cost reduction of commodity systems, networking, and "utility computing"
are amplifying and driving each other. In the pursuit of lower acquisition
costs and apparent simplicities, many are deploying "scale-out" architectures
either as replacements for old "scale-up" architectures or for new applications.
In exchange, they are often eating much greater managerial complexity and
costs. Cassatt Collage is a product designed to mitigate these costs and
amplify the benefits of these trends, and this talk will be an introduction
to the product from both a "what it does" and a "how it does it" point of
view.
Next month we will have a presentation on Java NIO and a short presentation on Swing applications from Ray Ramos (by request).
Directions are here (look for the map link): http://www.tucson-jug.org/
Hope to see everyone!
