& XSLT The Call for Papers for XTECH 2006 is now open. Visit http://www.xtech.org
<http://www.xtech.org/>   for more details. The deadline for paper and
tutorial submissions is 9 January 2006.

XTech 2006 will take place from 16-19 May in the heart of Amsterdam, at the
Grand Hotel Krasnapolsky, Dam Square.

The theme for 2006, "Building Web 2.0", recognises the key place of
standards-based and open technology in enabling the next generation of web
applications. Practitioners and leaders from all disciplines are invited to
participate in presenting and discussing the technology and design issues
behind the changing web.

Building on the success of last year's conference, this year's tracks
include:

*	 <http://xtech.org/2006/tracks.asp>  Applications: "mashups",
frameworks, publishing, open source solutions, aggregation 
*	 <http://xtech.org/2006/tracks.asp#browser>  Browser Technology:
browsers, AJAX, design and interaction implications 
*	 <http://xtech.org/2006/tracks.asp#coretech>  Core Technologies: the
XML and RDF family, RSS/Atom, databases,
nuts-and-bolts tech 
*	 <http://xtech.org/2006/tracks.asp#opendata>  Open Data: information
design, identity, tagging, privacy, trust, Creative Commons, DRM, government


Subject matter is given as a guide, but is by no means exclusive! Read more
information in the Track <http://xtech.org/2006/tracks.asp>   Descriptions.

There are several ways you can participate. Follow the links for more
detail.

*	 <http://xtech.org/2006/presentations.asp>  Presentations: 40 minute
talks, to be accompanied by a short paper (1,000+ words) submitted before
the conference. Talks are chosen by peer review of abstracts. 
*	 <http://xtech.org/2006/tutorials.asp>  Tutorials: 3 or 6 hour
sessions. Suitable for more established topics than presentations, to aim
for mass appeal. 
*	 <http://xtech.org/2006/panels.asp>  Panel Discussions: new this
year, we want to incorporate discussion sessions into each track, with
feedback given to the conference. You should nominate a chair (can be
yourself) and have some idea of panelists to give short position statements.

*	 <http://xtech.org/2006/related.asp>  Related Events and BOFs: there
is room available to co-locate your event with XTech. We'll also have BOF
tables over lunch, and signup boards for evening sessions. 

There will also be Product Presentations, from vendors or open source
projects, and a few "late breaking" slots reserved for hot and developing
topics. Separate calls for participation will be made for these.
