Re: [regrep] [Fwd: [OASIS members] Call For Presentations: OASIS Symposium]

["David RR Webber" <david@drrw.info>]

Joe,

I certainly think that OASIS CAM combined with Registry is a strong fit
here - particularly in the information integration arena.

The only issue is travel - since XML Europe is also in the
same timeframe.

We may have to send surrogate robotic presenters to New Orleans!

Cheers, DW.

>
> OASIS, the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information

> 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.
