XML Prague 2007 CALL FOR PAPERS - January 18 2007
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

XML Prague is a regular conference on XML for developers, mark-up geeks, 
information managers, and students, focusing this year on XML Processing 
idioms, Open XML Documents and XProc. The conference consists of a full 
day of experts speaking, in addition to a subsequent day dedicated for 
participants to hold related BoF sessions and workshops.

Date: June 16-17, 2007
Website: http://www.xmlprague.cz
Location: Malá Strana (aka Lesser Town), Prague, the Czech Republic
Malostranské náměstí 25, Prague 1

This year XML Prague is calling for submissions for presentations 
running 30 minutes, on the following topics.

XML Processing Idioms: Some have said that the optimal approach to 
processing XML has still yet to be discovered, we are looking for unique 
approaches to processing XML.

Open XML Documents: Seeking 'real world' experience and techniques 
working with the various emerging XML office type XML documents.

XProc: We would like to receive submissions from early implementers and 
advanced users on all aspects of XML pipeline processing (e.g. XProc, etc).

How to submit proposals:
Send extended abstracts via e-mail to xmlprague@gingerall.cz.

Format of proposals:
UTF-8 encoded plain text. Each proposal must contain a title, a name and 
affiliation of submitter and a description not longer than 500 words.

Proposals will be submitted for review by a peer review panel made up of 
XML Prague Organising Committee and Advisory Board members. Submissions 
will be chosen based on interest, applicability, technical merit, and 
technical correctness.

Full Papers will be published in the proceedings of the conference.

Papers should strive to contain original material and belong in the 
topics listed previously. Submissions which are construed as product or 
service descriptions (adverts) will probably be deemed inappropriate. 
Other approaches, such as Case Studies are welcome though should focus 
on aspects relevant to the conference.

Selected presenters will be asked to submit a full paper (Docbook 
format) on time, give their presentation and answer questions in 
English; as detailed in the XML Prague 2007 conference presenter guidelines.
