SAN MATEO, Calif., June 6 /PRNewswire/ --

WHO: David Temkin, founder and chief technology officer, Laszlo Systems, Inc., the original developer of OpenLaszlo, the leading open source platform for building and deploying Web 2.0 applications WHAT: Will give the keynote address, "The SOA Client and the Web's Copernican Revolution," at the 10th Annual International SOA Web Services Edge Conference, co-located with the First Annual Enterprise Open Source Conference, presented by SYS-CON group publisher & editorial director Jeremy Geelan WHEN: Temkin will give the keynote address today, June 6, from 2:00-2:50 p.m. WHERE: Roosevelt Hotel Madison Avenue at 45th New York, N.Y. REGISTER: http://soaeosconference.sys-con.com/ DETAILS: Before Copernicus, the sun was thought to revolve around the earth; to speak otherwise was to invite charges of heresy. Copernicus eventually reversed this popular notion by showing that earth in fact revolves around the sun. Similarly on the Web, the server has always been the center of the universe, with the client relegated to being more or less a dumb terminal, revolving at the periphery of a server-oriented architecture. Using the OpenLaszlo Ajax platform as an example, Laszlo Systems' founder David Temkin will show how SOA, coupled with advanced Ajax applications, are changing the Web's center of gravity from the server to the client. Heresy or not, this session will prove that the client is becoming the center of today's new Web architecture. About David Temkin
