Rogue Wave is interested in collaborating with the University of Colorado on various technology projects. In the far future, Rogue Wave could support the university's research with software. In the near future, they could collaborate on projects with commercial potential. Currently, Rogue Wave is looking for potential recruits. Rogue Wave also discussed areas of future research such as quantum computing, brain power emulation, and pervasive computing. Rogue Wave has developed an XML framework to enable connectivity between devices and databases. Their newest middleware allows multiple devices to access enterprise systems through orchestrated XML interfaces.

Time Frames and Possible
Collaboration between RW and UC
• Far future - We could support your
research with software
• Near future - We could collaborate on
projects that might have commercial
utility
• Present - We are looking for potential
recruits who want to work on cutting
edge technology

3 Dimensions of Future Research
• Deeper - Beyond Moore’s Law
• Higher - Emulating Brain Power
• Broader - Pervasive Computing

4. DRAFT
Beyond Moore’s Law
• Quantum computing
• Molecular and nanocomputing
• DNA
• ----------------------------------------
• Recommendation: Non-deterministic
computation strategies and methods
for handling uncertainty and errors.

5. DRAFT
Brain Power
• Vision
• Speech recognition
• Natural Language Processing
• Robotics
• -----------------------------------------------
• Recommendation: Be aware of
feedback loops between higher order
and lower level sub-systems. (e.g.
vision and speech)

6. DRAFT
Pervasive Computing
• Wireless devices
• Embedded systems
• Broadband communication
• Message content standards (e.g. XML)
• -----------------------------------------------
• Recommendation: Emergent behavior
and phase transitions are to expected
in highly integrated systems.

7. DRAFT
The Most Interesting Questions
• What do you get when you combine all
of the previous capabilities?
• What can a pervasive broadband
network of high performance intelligent
components do? (Don’t ignore non-
determinism and fault tolerance).
• What will be the unexpected effects of
deploying this technology? ( Consider
the current Web as a toy prototype)

Rogue Wave’s Next Generation -
Device to Database XML Framework

11. DRAFT
Overview
• Problem: Devices to database connectivity
• Rogue Wave framework technology
• Framework customization
• XML interfaces to back-end resources
• Middleware for multiple device access thru XML
• High performance device to database solutions

12. DRAFT
Problem: Accessing RDBs
• One of the key industrial problems is
accessing relational databases from
multiple locations using diverse client
platforms
• This will be an increasingly critical
requirement as mobile access and real
time multiple user interaction
applications are required

13. DRAFT
Rogue Wave Technology
• Rogue Wave is the market leader in
object (C++) software components.
• DBTools is the most widely used
software product for linking
applications to multiple relational
databases
• We also have new frameworks that
enable domain specific access to
relational databases

14. DRAFT
Professional Services Group
• Our professional services group
customizes and extend our
frameworks for large-scale mission-
critical applications
• Example: DBTools-XA enables
transaction processing on top of
DBTools
• In the financial services area, we are
deploying a large-scale system for
accessing an assets database

16. DRAFT
XML LINK
• We have created XML Link interfaces
to several back-end components
• Existing XML interfaces include a DB
link to DBTools and a CORBA link
• XML Link interfaces can also be
created to other legacy applications
and integrated into a robust package

Mobile Internet Middleware
• Our newest middleware enables
multiple devices to have orchestrated
access to enterprise XML frameworks
• The middleware is flexible and
extensible including queuing, device
independence and event-based
dispatching

Conclusion: End-to-end Integration
• Rogue Wave has end-to-end
solutions/services for high performance
device-to-database applications
• In the near future, M-business solutions
will require these capabilities to meet the
demands of consumer and business
applications.
