Middleware Everywhere - Ready for Mobile and Cloud
Mark Little Red Hat
2011-11-01 | 09:45 AM-10:30 AM
The traditional role of middleware in the data center has been challenged to expand and meet the ubiquitous computing demands becoming more prevalent.

Please join Dr. Mark Little, Sr. Director Middleware Engineering, as he discusses Red Hat's vision for how JBoss Enterprise Middleware will drive social, mobile and cloud computing.
