> Subject: [OASIS members] Call For Presentations: OASIS Symposium
> Date: 19 Dec 2003 17:19:55 -0500
> 
> The OASIS Symposium on Reliable Infrastructures for XML
> April 26th and 27th, 2004 in New Orleans, Louisiana
> 
> Call for Presentations
> 
> OASIS, the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information 
> Standards, invites you to submit a proposal for a presentation, panel 
> discussion or tutorial for the OASIS Symposium on Reliable 
> Infrastructures for XML. The goals of the symposium are to:
> 
> * Provide a forum for OASIS Technical Committee members to exchange 
> ideas and present results of ongoing work, works-in-progress, etc.;
> * Identify areas where coordination between standards efforts is needed 
> to promote interoperability;
> * Identify unaddressed topics where standards development is needed;
> * Enable outside experts to present issues / opportunities to OASIS members.
> 
> The symposium will be followed by two days available to OASIS Technical 
> Committees, Joint Committees and Member Sections for face-to-face 
> working sessions. The OASIS Annual General Meeting will also be held in 
> conjunction with the symposium.
> 
> 
> Overview
> 
> Many different (and partially interchangeable) technologies are proposed 
> or available to increase the reliability of XML-based messaging and 
> networking infrastructure.  These include technologies applied:
> 
> * At the transport layer (e.g. reliable messaging specifications);
> * At the application layer (e.g. transaction protocols);
> * At intermediate levels (e.g. routing, point-to-point compared to 
> end-to-end);
> * By using Message-Oriented Middleware as a carrier for XML messages.
> 
> We define "reliable" to mean that implementing one or more of these 
> technologies in an infrastructure removes some of the burden of ensuring 
> application integrity from software programmers and architects.
> 
> The OASIS Symposium is focused on exploring the current state of these 
> technologies and exploring areas where open standards are needed.
> 
> 
> Instructions
> 
> The symposium program committee invites you to submit a proposal for a 
> presentation, panel discussion or tutorial that addresses technologies 
> and standards for reliable XML infrastructures.
> 
> Presentations should be 30 minutes long including question and answer. 
> Sessions will consist of related presentations, ending with a 
> question-and-answer session directed to the presenters.
> 
> Panel sessions should be 60 minutes long. Proposals for panels should 
> include the topic, 3-to-4 potential panelists (name and/or role) and 
> proposed format (e.g. Q&A, short presentations).
> 
> Tutorials should be 1/2 day sessions.  Tutorial proposals should state 
> intended audience and learning objectives.
> 
> Proposals should address topics in reliability as applied to XML-based 
> communications at the technology and implementation levels, ideally 
> driven by usage scenarios. Special consideration will be given to 
> proposals that:
> 
> * Compare and contrast multiple related technologies (clear comparisons 
> of published and forthcoming XML transaction protocols) with a view 
> toward guidance for application architects;
> * Support and consider decisions about choice of appropriate 
> technologies (e.g. use of reliable messaging and simpler protocols 
> rather than transactional termination protocols);
> * Place OASIS technologies in a broader context of competing or 
> complementary specifications (e.g. relating OASIS work to the variety of 
> published reliable messaging specifications);
> * Consider alternative approaches to transaction management (e.g. local 
> rollback versus compensation-based protocols);
> * Compare reliability techniques for environmental models containing 
> benign threats versus malign threats;
> * Consider techniques for ensuring accountability of origin and receipt;
> * Discuss the impact of digital signatures and encryption on reliability 
> techniques.
> 
> OASIS will publish proceedings of the symposium. Authors should arrange 
> for any necessary releases for publication prior to submission of their 
> proposal.
> 
> To submit a proposal, please send the following information by email to 
> symposium@oasis-open.org:
> 
> * The full contact details (name, affiliation, email, phone, postal 
> address) of one presenter who will act as the primary contact for the 
> proposal or panel discussion;
> * The full list of authors;
> * A 1-page abstract outlining the subject and key points of your 
> proposal, panel discussion or tutorial.
> 
> All submissions will be acknowledged.
