If OPC UA is in your future--or if you're wondering whether it should be--you might want to take note of the following announcement that popped up in my mailbox today.
On November 21, 2008, the OPC Training Institute will be holding a no-charge, 1-hour, online information session that addresses security and other issues surrounding the new OPC Unified
Architecture (OPC UA) specification.
Online to address OPC UA questions and concerns are Tony Paine, Executive VP and CTO of Kepware, Matthias Damm, director of ascolabs, Simone Massaro, Manager of Product Development at ICONICS, and Randy Kondor, President of the OPC Training Institute.
If you want to attend the online information session, you need to pre-register. The session is being offered at two different times to accommodate multiple time zones:
November 21, 2008, at 1:00 PM CET for Europe, Middle East and Africa
