Why B2B when you can go Web2Web?
Tuesday 15:30 - 16:15 (Tools Room)

Envision interacting web-services, where a single application is built from existing xml based web-services and html based web-sites. A new level of abstraction can be reached and new empowering functionality obtained. The subject is talked about before, but the new twist is the tool support that now exist and the presentation will include a presentation of RoboSuite, a pure java solution for making applications interact with data from the html or xml based internet.

RoboSuite includes the following five products:

* RoboMaker is our revolutionary new visual programming concept for fast and easy development of robots that interact whith websites, through your own applications. RoboMaker includes everything needed for fast development, including a built-in web browser and a very powerful visual debugging environment for efficient testing and bug finding.

* ModelMaker is a visual data object modelling application. ModelMaker allows you to visually define the data objects communicated by robots between applications.

* RoboRunner executes robots in batch. With RoboRunner you can execute a set of robots at scheduled intervals with full support for optimal use of distributed and multiprocessor-based environments.

* RoboServer is an XML-based web service engine that allows for on-demand robot execution. With our powerful XML-based Robot Query Language (RQL), you can perform real-time transactions, data queries, etc. directly on existing web applications. RoboServer also includes support for optimal use of distributed and multiprocessor-based environments.

* RoboManager manages the robot life cycle, robot performance and robot responsibilities. With RoboManager it becomes a halftime job to monitor a production environment that potentially includes interfacing to hundreds or thousands of web sites.
