• Abstract: Technology change happens quickly such that new trends tend to crowd out the focus on what was new just yesterday. In this paper the peak popularity of the confluence of Object Technologies with early Web adoption is explored through the content of a seminar held in 1999. Distributed architectures were undergoing significant change at this point, and deeper software capabilities were just beginning to be broadly accessible over the Internet. The Object Web arose and was infused with new development tools reflecting these capabilities and allowing design of applications for deployment during the early days of the World Wide Web. This conference discussed the history, evolution, and use of these tools, architectures, and their future possibilities. The continued dominance of these approaches although under different names is demonstrated even though the term Object Web has receded in use. Favored newer offerings such as Kubernetes and microservices still model the core design attributes of the Object Web for example. Aside from connecting this seminar to relevance in the software world of today this paper also touches on the early AI tools demonstrated in this seminar a quarter century ago and how the popularity wave of any given technology might affect the current focus on AI technology offerings.
