SOS: Stay On Saturday!
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!
