Applications!
Diverse...complex...business
critical
When
is a technology more than a technology? When it
is a business tool, solving problems, day after
day in mission critical applications. XML and
its satellite standards are being used today in
a wide range of applications, securing their places
as fundamental building blocks of the Web.
This
year, XML Europe takes a concentrated look at
the way XML is and will be used within vertical
and horizontal industry applications. A series
of tracks have been designed to focus on how industry
is using XML to conduct business using the Web
or corporate Intranets. These uses range from
inter-process communication to eloquent schemas
describing industry-centric content.
The
programme will also address two prominent horizontal
application areas for using XML on the Web: eBusiness
and Knowledge Management. Both of these are used
within and across many different industries, touching
every type of organization.
For
our technical audience, fear not. We will complement
our application-focused agenda with a wide range
of technical papers on the standards, their current
status, and interesting new research.
Proceding
the conference, will be 31 (half and full day)
tutorials and seminars for both executives and
technical staff, featuring a wide range of topics.
In addition, this year's events will host a variety
of "Special Interest Day" programmes
on such topics as XML & Content Management;
XML for Executives (an executive level "up-to-speed"
seminar for those new to XML); XML & Digital
Print Production; and Healthcare.
Following
a record breaking attendance of 1400 visitors
last year in Paris, we are pleased to be moving
to the ICC in Berlin in May 2001. The last time
XML Europe was in Germany was in 1996. We've been
away too long and look forward to using this exciting
venue next spring to bring emerging information
on a wide range of Internet standards and technologies
to an audience of both managers and technical
staff. Coupled with two days of extensive tutorials
and special interest day programmes and an exhibition
with over 50 exhibitors, it is the only comprehensive
show of its kind in Europe.
Still
trying to decide if you should go to XML Europe?
