Java Card API

Speaker: Ted Goldstein, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Abstract: Smart Cards are at the vanguard of the next generation of computer technology: Individual Computers. Over 3 billion smart cards, providing computing power equal to or greater than the original IBM PC in a credit-card size, will be in consumers' hands by the year 2000. Many of these will be based on the Java Card API, a specialized version of Java that enables applications written for one smart card to run on all smart cards. The Java Card API represents a huge opportunity for Java Developers to extend their current development efforts into an entirely new arena.

Smartcards are a great place to store secrets, and have a wide range of uses, such as storing medical and financial information. In this talk, Ted Goldstein will present Java Card API, JavaCard applications and the future of Java and smartcards.

Java Media Players and Java Sound

Speaker: David Rivas, Sun Microsystems, Inc.

Abstract: Java Media Players are Java objects for rendering time-based media such as audio and video. This presentation gives an in-depth look at the various classes and interfaces that make up the Java Media Framework (JMF) Player API, including what developers need to know to build applications that incorporate a wide variety of time-based multimedia.

Java Sound is the new Java Audio API. Java Sound contains classes and interfaces that a developer will use to create and manipulate multiple audio and synthesis voices and to control the rendering of voices both directly and via MIDI commands. This presentation will look at the capabilities and uses of the Java Sound API.
