An example of this is Jeff Nolan&#8217;s &#60;a href=&#8221;http://sapventures.typepad.com/main/2004/06/blogging_from_t_4.html&#8221;&#62;summary&#60;/a&#038;gt; of the Accel/SNRC &#60;a href=&#8221;http://snrc.stanford.edu/symposium.html&#8221;&#62;symposium on Service-Oriented Flexible Computing&#60;/a&#62; on his blog. Instead of paying $350, you can read Jeff&#8217;s blog to get the highlights.
