This invite supercedes a previous invite which had a slightly out of date
scenarios document.

BEA Systems Inc, International Business Machines, Microsoft Corporation and
TIBCO Software Inc, co-developers of the WS-ReliableMessaging specification, are
hosting a 2-day Interop Workshop on May 12 and 13th at BEA's San Francisco
office from 9am to 5pm with breakfast available from 8am.

To attend this event, the attached feedback agreement MUST be reviewed and
signed by each attendee - either before or at the workshop event. The purpose of
the feedback agreement is to ensure that everyone involved in influencing the
specifications is committed to keeping the specification royalty free. Also, as
this is an Interop Workshop, participants will need to bring an implementation
based on the specifications below.

The 2-day interop workshop is an ad-hoc, open forum for companies who have
WS-ReliableMessaging implementations based on the WS-ReliableMessaging
specification published March 2004, and who want to test their implementations
with other companies' implementations. Attendees bring their own laptops, their
implementations and any other tools they feel would be needed; testing among all
attendees will occur throughout the day. A scenario document for use in the
Interop Workshop is provided in this invitation. Progress of interoperating
implementations will be tracked throughout the event.

This workshop will be held at BEA Systems in San Francisco, CA, see below for
location details.

An internet connection will be available during the workshop.

Breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks will be served, but participants will be
responsible for their own dinner arrangements. Please make any special dietary
requirements known in advance, and every effort will be made to accommodate
them.

As with previous workshops, these events are open to anyone who desires to
participate and who can bring an implementation based on the specifications
listed above.

If you are interested in participating, please reply to Mark Nottingham,
markn@..., 415-402-7254.

A signed feedback agreement must be faxed to Mark Nottingham, fax 415-402-7820.

Feel free to pass this invitation along, either in your company or elsewhere.
This is an open forum. No invitation is required, but an RSVP is appreciated by
the event hosts to facilitate accurate logistics planning. The list of attendees
and general workshop results will be made public after the workshop.

Thank you and we look forward to your participation.

BEA Systems, IBM, Microsoft and TIBCO
