Session Title:	Cloud Computing: Show Me the Money
Session Abstract:	Is cloud computing more of a myth than a reality? Is it old wine in new bottles and merely a glorified term for "the network is the computer"? What do "infrastructure as a service," "database as a service," "platform as a service," and "software as a service" really mean? What about the technologies and the monetization from a Java™ technology developer perspective? In this session, a panel of experts from various companies that have cloud offerings attempts to tout the benefits of the respective technologies to Java technology developers, demystify the terminology associated with cloud computing, and discuss the challenges ahead. Each panelist gives a minimal presentation, followed by a "new and cool " demonstration. After attending this panel, attendees will walk away with a good understanding of the differences in technologies of the different cloud offerings and what it means to them as Java technology developers. A group of four or five panelists from among Amazon, Google, Intuit, Microsoft, salesforce.com, and Sun Microsystems is expected to participate.
