They are going to show several open source tools that are using ASM framework for bytecode analysis and manipulation.

Joe Polestra is presenting the ins and outs of Sentilla's novel Java platform. Check out the session to learn how to build efficient pervasive Java applications, find out about how garbage collection works, get under the hood on the Driver model, find out about performing asynchronous operations from a synchronous threaded context in Java and managing all those threads on a resource constrained device with only 10kB of memory. Check out the world's smallest Java-based computer powred by Sentilla, available only at JavaOne.

Alexandre Gomes, a principal in the Brazilian delegation to JavaOne, is presenting at two sessions:

And Matt OKeefe is part of a delegation from Orbitz worldwide that will rival Brazil's. He's presenting at TS-6048 with Doug Barth on Complex Event Processing at Orbitz. The Orbitz datacenters utilize thousands of services distributed across hundreds of Jini network connected virtual machines to serve more than 19 million visitors per month. This one's on Friday at 10:50.

But wait, there's more... Michael Riecken saves the best for last on Friday 16:10 with TS-5546: Extending Swing to Run Multitouch Applications such as Microsoft Survace, the Apple iPhone, the InteracTable and Open Table.
