Free and open to all who wish to attend, but membership is only $10/year. About the talk: In June 2003, NASA launched two rovers to the planet Mars as part of the Mars Exploration Rovers (MER) mission. After landing in January 2004 on opposite sides of the planet, these twin robotic geologists will roam the surface and deploy their suites of sophisticated scientific instruments to analyze the Martian environment for evidence of liquid water and life in the past. Mission control will be at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. NASA developed the Collaborative Information Portal (CIP) to enable scientists and researchers worldwide and mission managers to display and collaborate on data and images downloaded from the rovers. They will also be able to view mission schedules, plans, and reports, show clocks in various time zones (including current Mars times at the landing sites), and send and receive broadcast announcements and notifications. CIP is a three-tier enterprise Java system. The desktop client application is implemented using Swing. The middleware is based on web services and Enterprise JavaBeans. The back end consists of Oracle databases and Java file monitors and data loaders. This talk will present overviews of the MER mission, the CIP client application, and the architecture of the CIP middleware. This is an updated version of the talk presented at the JavaOne conference last June. About the speakers: Joan Walton is a computer scientist at the NASA Ames Research Center and the deputy project manager for CIP. Leslie Keely is a computer scientist at the NASA Ames Research Center and the architect and lead of the CIP client application. Ronald Mak is a senior scientist at the Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science at the NASA Ames Research Center and the architect and lead of the CIP middleware. (Ron is also a past chapter chairman.) DIRECTIONS >From Highway 280 take the Wolfe Road exit toward El Camino Real in Cupertino. Turn right onto Pruneridge; HP will be on the left. Enter at the main gate and turn left following signs to Building 48 & Oak Room. At the stop sign, turn right to the circle and Building 48 and use any parking available. At the main door you will be directed to the exact location of the meeting in the Oak Room. See http://www.sfbayacm.org/ for further information.

Time: 1:00pm and on. Directions: For whoever's coming tomorrow, please email me offlist for directions on getting to my place. That way I'll have a better idea of who's coming and what to expect. Anyone extremely opposed to pizza? I'm taking orders as of right now. I haven't gotten any responses to my earlier email, so I'm still taking suggestions for booze, movies, etc. Just shoot me a quick couple lines. If you don't confirm your arrival, chances are you may not get to eat *or* get drunk. The horror is overwhelming.
