<http://www.xtech-conference.org/2005/call.asp>

 

"XML, the Web and Beyond"

 

24-27 May, 2005. Amsterdam, Netherlands.

 

Submissions of abstracts for papers and tutorials are now being accepted for
XTech 2005.  The deadline for proposals is January 7, 2005.

 

XTech 2005 is a conference for developers and managers working with XML and Web
technologies, bringing together the worlds of XML and web development, open
standards, open source and open data. This year's tracks include:

 

 * Core Technologies (XML specs and processing)

 * Applications (vocabularies, applications and experience)

 * Browser Technology (Mozilla, XAML, WhatWG, forms) 

 * Open Data (policy & technology issues of putting data on the web)

 

A full description of tracks, including suitable topic areas, can be found on
the web: <http://www.xtech-conference.org/2005/tracks.asp>

 

Formerly known as the XML Europe conference, XTech has widened its scope to
incorporate neighboring technologies from the web and business.  As the use of
XML broadens out beyond traditional core topics, we want to reflect that in the
conference.

 

The two new areas in this conference reflect the lively development in web user
interfaces and the growing experimentation with open access to data at the
personal, corporate and government levels.

 

More information on the new tracks and their relevance to the XML community can
be found in Edd Dumbill's XML.com article on XTech 2005 online at
<http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2004/11/10/deviant.html>

 

Abstracts will be blind-reviewed by a selection of peer reviewers.  If
successful, you will be asked to produce a paper for the conference.
