Hello, My name is Heather Kreger and I will be representing IBM in this working group. I have been working on the fringes of Web services since their inception. About a year ago I assumed a more central role as the lead architect for web services in Emerging Technologies. I have been responsible for documenting IBMs view of the Web Services Architecture and immediate directions and helping guide future directions. We published his architecture at http://www.ibm.com/webservices and have presented it at numerous conferences. Lately I have been working on Web Services and its realization in J2EE in Sun's JCP process under JSR109. This work has given me a broad understanding of industry perceptions about Web services and the requirements that must be met in order for it to fulfill its role in business. Before my life in Web services, I was working in the art of enterprise management for applications and networks. I was the chair of the DMTF's CIM Applications Management Work Group and a contributor to Sun's Java Management Extensions. I do not have personal knowledge of any IPR claims held by IBM regarding the Web Services Architecture.
