The organizers of Developer's Day would like to encourage you to "stick
around" for the Saturday after the Web Conference to join in some very
exciting hot-off-the-presses sessions for developers, by developers. In
addition, we are proud to announce that we have scheduled two plenary
speakers: Doug Cutting, the leader of the Nutch open-source search
engine project, and an interactive luncheon Q&A with Tim Berners-Lee.
The main focus of the day will be four parallel tracks split along
several key themes to bring developer and specialist communities
together:
- Semantic Web, a full day chaired by
Eric Miller
- Trust and Reputation Management, chaired by
Jennifer Golbeck
- Photography Markup, chaired by
Greg Elin
- RuleML & DAML-Rules, co-chaired by
Benjamin Grosof
- XForms, chaired by
Steven Pemberton
- And new for this year, "Cool Stuff," a selection of application
development techniques, usability assessments, search technology, and
other experience reports culled by the DevDay co-chairs,
Jim Hendler
and
Rohit Khare
Stay tuned for more detailed schedules and talk titles in your
conference bags when you get to New York - and book that extra hotel
night to make the most of the bonus day in your WWW2004 Passport
registration, Developer's Day!
PS. Rolling acceptances have already been issued to dozens of talks. If
you have an idea for "Cool Stuff" send it in to
devday@www2004.org
pronto!
The Developers and Specialists Day Committee requests proposals for
individual presentations or, preferably, multi-talk tracks, for
presentation at the World Wide Web Conference on Saturday, May 22,
2004.
It is expected that 5-6 parallel sessions will be offered,
with presentations in each focusing on tools and techniques of application
to the World Wide Web. Preferred presentations will be of interest to a
widerange of participants working on Web-related
development.
Potential topics and tracks may be for a particular area of
Web development-- Web Services, Semantic Web, XML tools, etc. -- or for
cross-cutting topics that may be of interest to those in multiple areas --
photo and multimedia access, new browser technologies, new developments in
search tools, etc.
The Developer's Day track has historically focused
on late-breaking,practical, and commercial innovations to a greater degree
than the mainconference. Industrial experience reports are particularly
encouraged.
Submissions should be in the form of an abstract of no more
than 500 words for an individual presentation. For multiple-presentations
or tracks,please be sure to indicate the approximate length and how
many presentations, and include up to a 1/2 page on each presentation to
occur.
Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis with a final
deadline of April 30.
