MONTVALE, NJ-- Apr 16, 2002 -- SYS-CON Media (www.sys-con.com) headquartered in Montvale, New Jersey, announced today that the April issue of Web Services Journal includes an exclusive HP Web Services Platform CD, (www.sys-con.com/webservices). WSJ is the world's first and only print and online magazine devoted to the newest and most pervasive computing paradigm since the arrival of the Web itself. The only magazine focused completely on Web Services, Web Services Journal is uniquely positioned to cover .NET, J2EE, and other related technologies, rather than a single platform.
HP Web Services Platform delivers a standards-based platform and toolset for quickly developing, deploying, registering, discovering, and invoking Web services. Key components of the HP Web Services Platform include: HP-SOAP 2.0 - SOAP server and XML document pipeline-processing framework, features XML Digital Signature security capabilities; HP Service Composer - graphical tool for creating and mapping WSDL interfaces, features automatic deployment to HP-AS 8.0; HP Registry Composer - graphical tool for registering and discovering Web services in UDDI registries via UDDI4J Java API; and useful trail map tutorials, documentation, and use case examples to expedite the Web services learning process. HP Web Services Platform 2.0 is J2EE application server agnostic and has been tested with HP-AS 8.0, Tomcat, and BEA WebLogic 5.1 and 6.1. A 30-day evaluation license is included in the CD and with download.
"Hewlett-Packard is proud to be distributing our HP Web Services Platform CD in conjunction with WSJ, the leader in Web Services publications," stated Richard Winkler, Marketing Director, Hewlett-Packard. "HP Web Services Platform delivers a standards-based platform and toolset for quickly developing, deploying, registering, discovering, and invoking Web services."
"Web Services Journal's newsstand draw and sales have been steadily increasing," said James Morgan, vice president of production at SYS-CON Media. "With this added value offer from HP with our April issue, we anticipate an average sell-through of more than 90% of the magazine. We predict WSJ's newsstand sales will match or exceed our best selling i-technology title, Java Developer's Journal, by September of this year."
The magazine's international advisory board is composed of leading personalities in the field, including Andrew Astor, Steve Benfield, Dave Chappell, Philip Desautels, Graham Glass, Tyler Jewell, Paul Lipton, David Litwack, Norbert Mikula, Frank Moss, and Bob Sutor. The technical advisory board includes JP Morgenthal, Andy Roberts, David Russell, Ajit Sagar, Simeon Simeonov, and Richard Soley.
"The response to WSJ has been tremendous, and reflects the groundswell of interest in Web Services that the industry is experiencing," said Sean Rhody, editor-in-chief of Web Services Journal. "Our Web Services Panel Discussion at Web Services Edge East was attended by over 1,000 delegates and clearly indicated the commitment of the industry to this emerging paradigm (www.sys-con.com/webeast/tv.cfm)."
"One of the key factors in favor of Web Services is the potential for integration within and between enterprises," continued Rhody. "What makes WSJ the leading, vendor-neutral and unique Web Services magazine is that we can cover multiple platforms, compare and contrast them, and we're the first and only publication that shows how to make them all work together. WSJ does not focus solely on .NET or Sun ONE and ignore the presence of the other. WSJ offers the best editorial content you can find anywhere for .NET, J2EE, and all emerging Web Services technologies."
"Like our Web Services Edge 2002 East and West Conferences, Web Services Journal supports and extends SYS-CON's commitment to evolving i-technologies and serves as a forum for dialogue between both .NET and J2EE developers and the software industry," says Jeremy Geelan, WSJ's editorial director. "WSJ's March issue contained full pre-conference coverage of our Web Services Edge 2002 East - International Web Services Conference & Expo, the most significant Web Services event of the year to-date, which will be held June 24-27 at the Jacob Javits Center in New York, with the highest attendance and participation ever by all sectors of the Web Services community (www.sys-con.com/WebServicesEdge2002East)."
"Web Services Journal has been the most successful new magazine launch in our company's history," said Megan Ring, the magazine's director of marketing and sales. "All preferred advertising positions were sold out the same week we introduced and distributed 250,000 copies of WSJ's preview issue. In its second year of publication, Web Services Journal sponsors and advertisers include the world's leading players in the Web Services industry such as Actional, Altova, AltoWeb, Attunity, BEA Systems, Borland, Cape Clear, Dynamic Buyer, EnginData Research, IBM, Infragistics, Inktomi, iWay Software, HP, RogueWave Software, SAMS Publishing, Shinka Technologies, SilverStream, Sitraka, SKC.com, Sonic Software, SpiritSoft, and XML Global.
