Topics

The JavaOne conference content will be organized across four broad, high-level areas which capture the major dimensions of activity and attention around and within the Java platform. We are seeking compelling content submissions within and across these dimensions:

Deep Technology Middleware	Client Technology End-To-End

Each of these areas encompasses a variety of more detailed tracks aligned with the technologies, practical applications, innovations, and development techniques that define that space. To help you assess how your abstract might map to these desired areas, each is described in detail below along with likely tracks. Don't worry too much about how you think your proposal will ultimately fit within the larger body of conference content. Where appropriate, papers presented may span one or more topic area, or tracks within topics.

Note: Timing of Topics vs. Tracks for this year?

Deep Technology

The adoption of Java technology for media continues to grow at a rapid pace. On television tens of millions of viewers are enjoying Java content delivered on Blu-ray Disc, Tru2way, and other digital TV devices, while on the desktop the lines between local and network computing have grown increasingly blurry as content steadily migrates into the cloud. Rich Internet Applications (RIAs) have completely changed the software landscape by making it easier to access and share content, created new business models, and revolutionized providing software and services to the market. We're even seeing traditional applications such as email, calendars, or word-processing software get replaced by online equivalents. Consumers have become increasingly comfortable letting their online activities move into the cloud, and in response, software and content providers have grown increasingly comfortable delivering new ways of allowing people to access, share, and customize their content and experiences. By having content live in the network, demand is exploding for platforms that can enable secure, interactive content, applications, and services that can run across a variety of clients. As the most widely deployed platform with over 85% of desktops, more than 3 billion mobile handsets, and its selection as the software platform for Blu-Ray Disc, Tru2way, and other DTV standards worldwide, Java is the ideal solution for this migration, providing secure access to a broad range of system capabilities and its ability to handle complex computations.

Consumers are increasingly demanding rich, interactive, and entertaining experiences that are familiar and intuitive. Developers and designers are seeking platforms and tools, like JavaFX, that can enable them to work more closely together and to incorporate rich animation, media and scalable fonts & graphics into experiences that can more easily and seamlessly be delivered across the spectrum of consumer devices.

Please submit proposals related to one ore more of the following topic areas:
• Making the three-screen vision of unified experiences across computer, TV and mobile device a reality -- best practices, case studies and implementations
• Successfully addressing key development challenges such as integration costs and software consistency across devices
• Use of Scripting languages and tools -- such as JavaFX -- for the creation of rich media and interactive content
• Tru2way, Blu-ray Disc, and other GEM-based platforms
• New development tools and authoring paradigms, scripting languages, modeling systems or tools for testing and optimizing content for delivery
• Best practices for delivering compatible, efficient content across diverse hardware
• What applications will consumers respond to? Advanced advertising, interactivity, social computing, widgets or none of the above?
• Cool Stuff: New approaches and innovative ideas helping accelerate adoption of rich internet applications, or applicability of rich media and content
