XML Authoring Tools
The conference organizers are pleased to present this list of vendors who are making their authoring tools available for speakers to author proceedings according to the conference schema (a subset of DocBook, please see Conference Schema and Guidelines). We hope that you will take this opportunity to try out the tools and let the vendors know you appreciate their support. Please note that the conference organisers are not able to give you technical support for these tools; you will have to contact the tool providers for this.
