THE SYMPOSIUM

In today's world 'application’ often means 'web application’. Most web applications are messy. The current web application stack changes rapidly; frameworks go in and out of favor; the standards evolve; JavaScript changes.

At the same time, mission critical applications are built on top of “big data”. We have large volumes of often volatile data that must be accessed, distilled, summarized, and transformed for delivery to the web.

Enterprises desperately need to provide stable, scalable, and sustainable infrastructure to meet the needs of modern applications. More and more organizations are using an XML infrastructure. Appropriately-designed XML applications can enable “stable innovation” of mission-critical information resources while handling new requirements, changing data models, and mitigating the churn of constantly changing requirements.


CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

Tell us how you use XML infrastructure behind a web-based interface. We seek success stories and tales of disappointments; Hopes for the future and plans for how to get there; Tools, techniques, approaches, and philosophies that underlie integration of XML and the Web.

All papers are peer-reviewed — we pride ourselves that you will seldom get a more thorough, skeptical, or helpful review than the one provided by Balisage reviewers.
