We are very pleased to have Mr Dharmesh Mistry who is the Chief Technology Office of Entranet (a local leading Internet and Ecommerce Development Company) to speak about the technology, concepts and challenges behind delivering a E-commerce solution using Multi-Access Devices i.e. WAP, Internet, DIgital TV, Online Phone Kiosks etc. According to Dharmesh Mistry, in the next 20 years we will see our lives changed radically. The cause - Multi-Access devices. We are already conditioned to the benfits of the Internet via a PC, but soon there will be new innovations and services being delivered via channels that we did not think possible a few years ago! As well as contributing to the Annual FAST (Federation Against Software Theft) Conference where he spoke on the subject of e-commerce, Dharmesh has experience in front of the camera and has been interviewed for TV and radio including: Tomorrow's World - Electronic Voting - Would You Vote Online? Working Lunch - Shopping Safely on the Internet BBC World Service Java Based Banking Sky/The Learning Curve - Tips for saving money on the Internet Business Breakfast - The Problems Faced by Egg Online LBC Radio - The Future of Internet Banking We will be handing out CPD certificates at the end of the presentation. If you haven't already done so, it would be a great time to start your CPD records. Please look at the web site http://www.bcsoxon.org/calendar/jan2001.html for a brief description about this presentation. We will be holding the meeting at the Wolfson Building, South Parks Road, Oxford.

Tues Jan 30th: Dynamic Probes and the IBM Linux Technology Centre
by Ganesh Sittampalam 24 Jan '01

24 Jan '01

Richard Moore from the IBM Linux Technology Centre will talk about "Dynamic Probes". You can find more information about Dynamic Probes at http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux/whitepapers/dpr… and about the Linux Technology Centre in general at http://oss.software.ibm.com/developerworks/opensource/linux/ This talk will be in Comlab on Tuesday January 30th. Provisionally the talk is set for 6pm, but I realise this might be inconvenient for many people and am investigating the possibility of changing it. Therefore, if the time it is held that evening would make a difference to you attending, please mail me *off-list* with a range of times that would suit. If convenient for the speaker, I'll try to rearrange it to a time that would suit the most possible. Cheers, Ganesh
