The Graphic Communications Association, in conjunction with Allette Systems, is pleased to announce XML/SGML Asia Pacific '99 - the region's 6th annual conference for the applications, trends and technologies that support the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) and the Standard Generalised Markup Language (SGML).

As usual, the conference will include sessions for managers and users alike but this year we've added an extra stream to specifically address the interests of software developers - a change made in direct response to feedback from last year. We will also be holding informal presentation sessions for individuals and corporate developers to showcase their implementations.

Call for Papers

Interested parties are invited to submit proposals for presentation at the conference. Of interest are papers discussing any XML, SGML or related technology issues at the managerial, user or technical expert level. Submissions should include:

A presentation title
The author's name and contact information
A brief presentation abstract
The intended audience (managers, users, technical experts)
The author's biography (approximately 200 words)

All abstracts must be submitted in electronic form. The deadline for completed proposals is 30 June, 1999. Full papers must be submitted by 1 September, 1999.

Please send submissions to: Craig Kirkwood, email: craig@allette.com.au

Call for Exhibitors

Software vendors and their products are critical to the continued growth of XML, SGML and other document management and Web publishing standards. The table-top exhibition at XML/SGML Asia Pacific '99 is a powerful way to present new products and product updates to those with a geninue, professional interest the industry. It is also worth noting that this conference attracts attendees from the main Asian markets such as Korea, Singapore, Malaysia and others.
