Conference Presentations

A PAPER MARKED UP USING THE DESIGNATED XML DTD IS REQUIRED FOR PRESENTATIONS THAT ARE SELECTED FOR THE CONFERENCE. PRESENTERS UNABLE TO PROVIDE THIS PAPER WILL BE SUBJECT TO REVIEW.
Several XML authoring tool vendors made customized versions of their product available for presenters to use. Some of these include conversion tools from formats such as Word, HTML, and PowerPoint, making it easier for you to get your content into XML. Closer to the event we will be collecting all slide presentations in addition to the XML paper. Special Note: All presenters will need to provide their own laptop.
The Purpose of the conference presentations is to provide a forum for focused discussion on related topics. These topics may include any of the subjects listed under Submission Areas.
The Timing of each presentations is 45 minutes (35 minutes for the presentation and 10 minutes for Q&A). Two 45-minute presentations will be presented consecutively in each room.
Attendance will range from 50-150 people in each room.
Deadline for proposals is May 13, 2005. In addition, a complete paper marked up in XML is due September 16, 2005.
