The Call for Papers
for XTECH 2006 is now open. Visit http://www.xtech.org
for more details. The deadline for paper and tutorial submissions is 9 January
2006.
XTech 2006 will
take place from 16-19 May in the heart of Amsterdam,
at the Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky, Dam
Square.
The theme for 2006,
"Building
Web 2.0", recognises the key place of standards-based
and open technology in enabling the next generation of web applications.
Practitioners and leaders from all disciplines are invited to participate in
presenting and discussing the technology and design issues behind the changing
web.
Building on the
success of last year's conference, this year's tracks include:
- Applications:
"mashups", frameworks, publishing, open source solutions,
aggregation
- Browser
Technology: browsers,
AJAX,
design and interaction implications
- Core
Technologies: the XML
and RDF family, RSS/Atom, databases,
nuts-and-bolts tech
- Open
Data:
information design, identity, tagging, privacy, trust, Creative Commons,
DRM, government
Subject matter is
given as a guide, but is by no means exclusive! Read more information in the Track Descriptions.
There are several
ways you can participate. Follow the links for more detail.
- Presentations: 40
minute talks, to be accompanied by a short paper (1,000+ words) submitted
before the conference. Talks are chosen by peer review of abstracts.
- Tutorials: 3
or 6 hour sessions. Suitable for more established topics than
presentations, to aim for mass appeal.
- Panel Discussions:
new this year, we want to incorporate discussion sessions into each track,
with feedback given to the conference. You should nominate a chair (can be
yourself) and have some idea of panelists to give short position
statements.
- Related Events and BOFs:
there is room available to co-locate your event with XTech. We'll also
have BOF tables over lunch, and signup boards for evening sessions.
There will also be Product Presentations,
from vendors or open source projects, and a few "late breaking" slots
reserved for hot and developing topics. Separate calls for participation will
be made for these.
