Abstract

The last 30 years of the "computing revolution" have seen the concept of applications evolve from programs to integrated suites and from monolithic structures feeding "green screens" to web enabled interactive, browser-based rich internet applications, widgets/gadgets and "Software as a Service" serving clients that range from personal computers to cell phones. The key questions to be addressed by the panel are:

• How is all of this affecting the architecture of enterprise computing?
• What are enterprises looking for and how do you get there?
• Who's in control — the user or IT, and how is that being evidenced?
• What are the new rules for enterprise "applications"?
• Why and how have enterprises embraced creative destruction of traditional
  applications in the enterprise and the Web 2.0/Office 2.0 revolution?
