Abstract of the talk

While the discipline of programming has evolved over more than 50 years of modern computing, the human programmer still bears most of the burden of designing, coding, and testing a system or application under development. Moreover, the programmer is generally tasked with making some assessment or guarantee of a system's quality, security and reliability. With the emergence of Web services and new types of development systems, what will the experience of building applications be in 5 years? How do Web services move us closer to a world of systems controlling and even programming other systems? What will the programming interfaces of the future--both the languages and the environments--look like?

In this session, Mythreyee Ganapathy will address these questions and more.
