We just fin\u00adished the XML<\/span> 2005 Plan\u00adning Com\u00admit\u00adtee Selec\u00adtion Meet\u00ading, three days at the end of last week. This is one of the fun, albeit exhaust\u00ading, parts of the con\u00adfer\u00adence, when all the would-be speak\u00aders have sub\u00admit\u00adted their abstracts, the review\u00aders have graded them and com\u00admen\u00adted on them, and then the Plan\u00adning Com\u00admit\u00adtee gets to build a com\u00adpel\u00adling sched\u00adule out of them.<\/p>\n

The papers this year did\u00adn\u2019t fit into areas or tracks as neatly as in pre\u00advi\u00adous years; I think this means that XML<\/span> usages are broad\u00aden\u00ading away from the \u201cclas\u00adsic\u201d publishing\/web services\/core tech\u00adno\u00adlo\u00adgies and mov\u00ading into more mixed areas. It has\u00adn\u2019t been about the syn\u00adtax for some years now, of course. There are papers that are show\u00ading more research into uses of XML<\/span>, more rigour in design\u00ading sys\u00adtems, and more emphas\u00adis on get\u00adting things to work right.<\/p>\n

Of course there were lots of papers where the authors proved they did\u00adn\u2019t both\u00ader read\u00ading any of the hints on writ\u00ading abstracts<\/a> on the con\u00adfer\u00adence web site. When abstracts are meant to be 500 words long, those that are under 50 get short shrift by the review\u00aders. Those with mis\u00adspelled acronyms or loaded up with buzzwords or that looked like advert\u00adise\u00adments for products did\u00adn\u2019t do too well either. For\u00adtu\u00adnately the review\u00aders did a good job at rank\u00ading the papers, and giv\u00ading us lots of com\u00adments to back up their grades, so I think we have a strong pro\u00adgram this year, full of inter\u00adest\u00ading con\u00adtent. We\u2019ll be pub\u00adlish\u00ading the sched\u00adule once the accep\u00adted speak\u00aders have had a chance to con\u00adfirm their talks.<\/p>\n

For those who don\u2019t have speak\u00ading slots, or who get the dreaded rejec\u00adtion email in the next week or so, don\u2019t des\u00adpair! We decided to keep the con\u00adfer\u00adence con\u00adtent really fresh this year by reserving 20% of the speak\u00ading slots for late-break\u00ading, instead of the usu\u00adal 10%. So read over those writ\u00ading hints, mark your cal\u00aden\u00addars for Septem\u00adber 16, and, come late July, see what holes we have in the sched\u00adule that your con\u00adtent is per\u00adfect for filling!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
