(My apologies to those who receive this more than once. In order to be as inclusive as possible I am resending it to additional email lists.) The World Wide Web Consortium is pleased to invite you to the first PICS Developers Conference, to be held on June 20 and 21, 1996 at MIT in Cambridge, Ma. Please see the full invitation at http://w3.org/PICS/invite.htm for more information about the conference and registration procedures. Excerpt from the invitation: June 20: Planning for future protocol development. The most important point of discussion will be whether and how to specify ways for clients to ask search engines to take into account their preferences. For example, clients may want to search for materials that are labeled as having high educational value. They may also want to search for pictures, but not to receive any links to pictures labeled as containing nudity. The existing specifications do not include any standard mechanisms for making such requests. June 21: Interoperability testing. We will have some facilities available for running software, either locally or remotely, and comparing results. This will also be a chance to make personal contact with vendors from other companies in order to arrange partnerships and private interoperability testing. --Jim
