You'll also hear a panel of major vendors explain how they are supporting XML in their products. Dana Gardner, editor at large of InfoWorld will moderate the panel, and will invite you to ask your questions as well.Additional topics include Enterprise Application Integration, Engineering Enterprise Portals, XML Query Language (XQL), how XML can be used to systems, and more." A full-day tutorial is offered by Clive Finkelstein ("acknowledged worldwide as the 'Father' of Information Engineering, [he] is Managing Director of Information Engineering Services Pty Ltd in Australia). His latest book, co-authored with Peter Aiken, is titled Building Corporate Portals with XML and is to be published by McGraw-Hill in September 1999."
