Call for Papers and Demonstrations
The call for speakers is open for PLAN-X 2007 (Programming Language Techniques
for XML). It's a workshop co-located with the ACM SIGPLAN-SIGACT Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages (POPL 2007) conference in Nice France (January 20,
2007).
The XML data model and its associated languages add interesting twists to programming language practice as well as theory. Just like its four
predecessors, the PLAN-X 2007 workshop turns the spotlight on how programming languages can embrace, for example, tree-shaped XML data structures, regular expression
types extracted from schema descriptions, very small or large XML instances, queries against XML data, and XML transformations. XML reaches deep into all aspects of
language design, type systems, compilers, as well as runtimes and PLAN-X 2007 is THE forum to present and discuss novel research work in this area.
These organizations provide professional education in the form of seminars,
classes, web-based seminars, and conference tutorials.
Training in the Spotlight
Dr. Bruce Martin's Enterprise Java Architecture Workshop (EJAW) addresses advanced enterprise software architecture topics.
Bruce is one of the pioneers of distributed object computing who has extensive practical experience with
Java, J2EE, XML and Web Services.
EJAW (public
workshops in 2005-2006) brings
together senior technical contributors for a week into a group setting to design
and architect a solution to a challenging problem. The workshop addresses
software architecture problems in general, and then applies them to the design
of a challenging on-line auction system.
The
San Diego Software Industry Council and Cal-ITEC (Internet2 Technology
Evaluation Center) sponsored a web services conference. Some of the
presentations from that event are available at the Web Services Summit.
