 Taligent and OS/2   

 This month, the OS/2 Bay Area User Group will host one of the first 
 public viewings of the Taligent Application Environment.  We will be 
 introduced to Taligent by one of its key developers, and will hear 
 about IBM's plans for incorporating Taligent technology into OS/2 from 
 IBM's Technical Liaison to Taligent.   

 Dr. Jack Grimes, Manager of Technology Evaluation at Taligent, will 
 speak on "Taligent and the Future of Operating Systems". His talk will 
 include a videotape showing Taligent in action.   

 Taligent's objective is to fundamentally change the way software is 
 created, maintained, and used.  Its architectural approach is to 
 integrate reusable sets of software into object frameworks, which 
 implement major units of functionality, and are designed for 
 customizatifon.  They factor every aspect of systems software, 
 including development, operation, and applications, into over 100 object 
 frameworks.  The result is a new technology foundation that will allow 
 developers to shorten development cycles from years to months while 
 delivering software that better meets users' needs.   

 Jack Grimes is currently Manager of Technology Evaluation at Taligent, 
 where he is responsible for evaluating technology from potential new 
 investors and initiating strategic technology acquisitions.  Before that, 
 he was Manager for User Environment Development.  Jack was 
 previously VP for Engineering at Mass Systems, and has worked for 
 Intel, ITT, and Tektronix.  He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering and 
 Computer Science from Iowa State, and also an MS in Experimental 
 Psychology from the University of Oregon.   

 Dr. Richard Hoffman will speak on IBM's specific plans for deploying 
 Taligent technology in its products over the next few years, with 
 particular attention to the OS/2 version of the Taligent Application 
 Environment expected in early 1995.   

 Richard Hoffman is currently IBM's Technical Liaison to Taligent. Before 
 that, he was an architect for what is now the DB2/2 product. Richard 
 has also worked for Exxon, Texas Instruments and Schlumberger. He 
 holds a PhD in Math from the University of Texas.     

 Admission is free to members of the OS/2 Bay Area User Group.  
 Nonmember registration fee is $3, or you may sign up for membership 
 at the door for $25 for one year.   

 Directions to SLAC: Take the Sand Hill Road East exit off I-280.  The 
 second traffic light after the one at the interchange is the entrance to 
 SLAC. Turn right.  Stop at the guard house and tell the guard that you 
 are going to the OS/2 Bay Area User Group meeting.  The Auditorium is 
 in the central area of the complex and is the building straight ahead of 
 you when you are at the guard house.
