XML 2005
introduces the XML Master Series;
panels
added for XML authoring, efficient XML
ALEXANDRIA, Va., November 7, 2005 - IDEAlliance
is introducing the XML Master Class Series - sessions highlighting successful
case studies from users and industry experts - at the XML 2005 Conference, to be
held November 14-18 in Atlanta. The
updated conference line up also includes new panel sessions addressing efficient
use of XML and XML authoring.
The Master Class Series focuses on users who have successfully deployed
XML technology in document-centric or web services environments. Key topics include security, performance
and scalability; application of new standards, tools and technology;
compatibility and interoperability issues; and managing and maintaining
vocabularies. The first sessions
will feature case studies from the Ohio State University Medical Center and The
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists.
"The Master Class Series provides a forum for sharing successful XML
implementation experiences," says Beth Micksch of Wolters Kluwer and IDEAlliance
Board of Directors. "It combines
case study presentations with XML thought leaders' expertise to advance the
evolution of XML technology and its effect on the corporate IT
landscape."
The new XML authoring panel session will feature vendors and experts
demonstrating traditional and alternative XML tools and environments. The panel on efficient use of XML will
highlight the challenges of XML users and developers who need to move beyond
what current technology allows; discussion topics will include hardware
acceleration, binary XML and code optimization.
"Users are expanding traditional XML authoring systems as well as using
XML in countless IT systems," says Lauren Wood, senior technical program manager
at Sun Microsystems and XML 2005 Conference chair. "Judging by the range of sessions at the
conference, this trend will continue well into the future. The XML Master Series and the new panel
sessions deliver practical knowledge of current technologies and
forward-thinking adaptations of this knowledge that will help steer the
directions XML usage moves next."
XML 2005 offers nearly two dozen tutorials, more than 150 technical
sessions, and nearly 20 exhibitors.
The current program schedule, with session descriptions, a list of
exhibitors and registration information, is available at
