Calls for Participation -- Balisage & Processing XML Symposium

[B Tommie Usdin <btusdin@mulberrytech.com>]

Friends --

It is time to start serious work on your Balisage paper. Yes, I
know they aren't due until April 24. But I also know that if you
write it in a hurry the peer reviewers will not be kind.

Also, will you please forward this to anyone you would like to
hear speak at Balisage or the Symposium on Processing XML Efficiently?

Thanks.

-- Tommie


Montréal is the place and August is time for serious
markup geeks to meet. In 2009 we have the "International
Symposium on Processing XML Efficiently" and "Balisage".

Balisage is a 3 1/2 day peer reviewed conference designed to meet the
needs of markup theoreticians and practitioners who are pushing the
boundaries of the field. It's all about the markup: how to create it;
what it means; hierarchies and overlap; modeling; taxonomies; transformation;
query, searching, and retrieval; presentation and accessibility; making
systems that make markup dance (or dance faster to a different tune in a
smaller space) - in short, changing the world and the web through the power
of marked-up information.

The International Symposium on Processing XML Efficiently is a full day
devoted to overcoming limits on space, time, or bandwidth. Developers
have said: "XML is too slow!", where "slow" may mean many things
including elapsed time, throughput, latency, memory use, and bandwidth
consumption. Following formal presentations on a variety of approaches to
making XML move for quickly, symposium attendees will be encouraged to
participate in the conference's "Hyde Park Speaker's Corner" with prepared
mini-presentations or ad hoc responses to the earlier presentations.
