WS‑Eventing Interop Workshop

BEA Software Inc, Microsoft Corporation and TIBCO Software Inc, co-developers of the WS-Eventing specification, are hosting a 1-day Interop Workshop on Thursday 15^th April 2004 from 9am to 5pm with breakfast available from 8am.

Note that in order 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 1-day interop workshop is an ad-hoc, open forum for companies who have WS-Eventing implementations based on the WS-Eventing specification published January 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 will be provided to attendees of the Interop Workshop before the event, and progress of interoperating implementations will be tracked throughout the event.

This workshop will be held at Microsoft in Redmond, WA, see below for location details.

For more up-to-date information on the location please visit one of the following sites:

An internet connection will be available during the workshops.

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 jthelin@...
A signed feedback agreement will also need to be faxed to Jorgen Thelin at +1‑425‑936‑7329.

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 workshops.

Thank you and we look forward to your participation.

BEA, Microsoft and TIBCO
