The call for proposals for SD2000 East, to be held in Washington D.C.
from October 29th to November 2nd, 2000, is up. I chair the XML track
for this conference and we're looking for proposals that cover the
broad range of XML technologies.
The audience for this show is very developer heavy. Attendees tend to
be programmers working in the trenches to implement solutions. The
evaluation forms tell us they want meaty, technical talks that show
by example how to use XML/Java/C++/etc. Thus in the XML track we're
looking for talks that pick one aspect of XML (e.g. schemas, XLinks,
DOM, etc.) and explain and demonstrate it in as much detail as is
feasible in 90 minutes.
Our audience is not very patient with vague presentations that hype
technologies without actually showing them in action. In particular,
we really don't need more broad, overview introductions to XML and
why it's cool. What we do need are presentations on specific topics
like SOAP, Internationalization, or Processing XML with Python that
spend maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of the time explaining why that particular
technology is useful, (not why XML in general is useful, assume the
audience already knows that) and the rest of the time actually
showing the audience how to use the technology you're presenting.
Deadline for abstracts is May 1, and they may be submitted online at
http://www.sdexpo.com/speakers/abstracts.html.
