Call for Papers - 22nd Unicode Conference - September 2002 - San Jose,CA
Twenty-second International Unicode Conference (IUC22) Unicode and the Web: Evolution or Revolution? http://www.unicode.org/iuc/iuc22 September 9-13, 2002 San Jose, California *** Call for Papers Just 6 weeks to go Send in your submission now! *** Submissions due: May 10, 2002 Notification date: May 31, 2002 Completed papers due : June 21, 2002 (in electronic form and camera-ready paper form) The software industry continues its rapid growth and change. In this year alone, Unicode 3.2 was released and several new proposals for the Internet and the World Wide Web were promoted to standards. Web Services is the latest buzz. Are the vendors of software that support these technologies keeping up? How can you be sure that you are deploying software components that work well together today and in the future? This Conference is where you go to find out. Experts will describe the latest changes to the Unicode standard and the other standards used for e-business today. You will also learn about the best practices for utilizing, integrating and deploying these technologies based on real-world examples and experience. Demonstrations are often provided. We invite you to submit papers which either define the software of tomorrow, demonstrate best practice with today's software, or articulate problems that must be solved before further advances can occur. Papers should discuss subjects in the context of Unicode, internationalization or localization. You can view the programs of previous Conferences at: http://www.unicode.org/unicode/conference/about-conf.html Conference attendees are generally involved in either the development, deployment or use of Unicode software or content, or the globalization of software and the Internet. They include managers, software engineers, systems analysts, font designers, graphic designers, content developers, technical writers, and product marketing personnel. THEME TOPICS Computing with Unicode is the overall theme of the Conference. Presentations should be geared towards a technical audience. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following (within the context of Unicode, internationalization or localization): - Web Services - XML and related specifications - The World Wide Web (WWW) - Portable devices - UTFs: Not enough or too many? - Security concerns e.g. Avoiding the spoofing of UTF-8 data - Impact of new encoding standards - Implementing Unicode: Practical and political hurdles - Implementing new features of recent versions of Unicode - Algorithms (e.g. normalization, collation, bidirectional) - Programming languages and libraries (Java, Perl, et al) - Search engines - Library and archival concerns - Operating systems - Databases - Large scale networks - Government applications - Evaluations (case studies, usability studies) - Natural language processing - Migrating legacy applications - Cross platform issues - Printing and imaging - Optimizing performance of systems and applications - Testing applications - Business models for software development (e.g. Open source) SESSIONS The Conference Program will provide a wide range of sessions including: - Keynote presentations - Workshops/Tutorials - Technical presentations - Panel sessions All sessions except the Workshops/Tutorials will be of 40 minute duration. In some cases, two consecutive 40 minute program slots may be devoted to a single session. The Workshops/Tutorials will each last approximately three hours.

Call for Papers - 22nd Unicode Conference - September 2002 - San Jose,CA
Call for Papers! Twenty-second International Unicode Conference (IUC22) Unicode and the Web: The Global Connection http://www.unicode.org/iuc/iuc22 September 9-13, 2002 San Jose, California Send in your submission now! Submissions due: May 10, 2002 Notification date: May 31, 2002 Completed papers due : June 21, 2002 (in electronic form and camera-ready paper form) Just 11 weeks to go! The Unicode Standard has become the foundation for all modern text processing. It is used on large machines, tiny portable devices, and for distributed processing across the Internet. The standard brings cost-reducing efficiency to international applications and enables the exchange of text in an ever increasing list of natural languages. New technologies and innovative Internet applications, as well as the evolving Unicode Standard, bring new challenges along with their new capabilities. This technical conference will explore the opportunities created by the latest advances and how to leverage them, as well as potential pitfalls to be aware of, and problem areas that need further research. We invite you to submit papers which either define the software of tomorrow, demonstrate best practice with today's software, or articulate problems that must be solved before further advances can occur. Papers should discuss subjects in the context of Unicode, internationalization or localization.
