The Vision for Network Computing

Sun pioneered a new space in the computing age by designing Java(TM) technology, the first Web-aware programming language in the industry. That effort has mushroomed to become Java computing, the paradigm of choice for building the network-centric economy and has challenged all of us to reevaluate how we develop, design, and deploy computing resources in our day to day operations. Where is the competitive advantage? Where is the business? Where does Java computing fit in? Where does it not belong?

Sun's vision of the future begins with a pragmatic, short-term approach to solving real business problems that exist today and develops into a ubiquitous network economy integrating supply chains and into a world where computing decisions are made independently of the underlying infrastructure. How does Java computing take us into that competitive  future? Who gets left out?
