+   <abstract>
+   <p>
+     Larry will challenge conventional assumptions about the directions of           
+     computing and software. The role of AI, expert systems, communications          
+     software and business applications will be presented both from a                
+     functional and commercial point of view.  The great gaps in the                 
+     marketplace will be highlighted, together with an indication of how             
+     these vacant fields will become home to new empires.
