The Mind Electric (TME), a leading provider of software for service-oriented architectures, announced today its participation in the XML Web Services One Conference, August 26 - 30 in Boston.

As the leading independent provider of web services platforms, TME is actively participating in this show to demonstrate the immediate business value of web services for enterprises as well as provide insights into the future of service oriented architectures. In addition to the multi-party integration simulation, TME will showcase its innovative web services platform GLUE and preview an early version of its grid services platform GAIA at booth #756 in the Exhibit Hall (Wednesday, August 28, 12:15 - 7:00 pm and Thursday, August 29, 12:15 - 3:00 pm). Confirming widely-held beliefs of high performance, recent benchmarking has revealed GLUE to be up to 30x faster than other Java web services platforms including Apache AXIS.

Web Services Integration Demonstration

The Web Services Integration Demonstration is a multi-party simulation of a B2B purchasing scenario that utilizes the web services protocol stack to facilitate business integration. Guljit Khurana, VP Product Technology, will demonstrate how GLUE can be used to create Web services that will link suppliers and customers over disparate business systems.
