http://www.w3.org/ -- 12 April 2005 -- For the first time, The World
Wide Web Consourtium (W3C) will hold three special "State of the Art"
(STAR) sessions as part of its track for the Fourteenth International
World Wide Web Conference (WWW2005) on May 10-14, 2005, in Chiba, Japan.
WWW2005 is hosted by Keio University, and is the latest in the
conference series organized by the International World Wide Web
Conference Committee. The independent conference is the one event where
W3C makes a full public report of its ongoing work.

The STAR sessions give conference attendees an opportunity to see how
Web standards are being applied in current practices, in areas as
current as Web Services, Internationalization, and Web Accessibility.
The sessions are led by W3C Technical Staff and W3C Members involved in
the development and deployment of these standards. The sessions have the
goal of providing attendees with the information they need to implement
W3C technologies.

In addition to sessions that emphasize current best practices, W3C is
also holding sessions that focus on future directions and developments,
including panel-led discussions on the mobile Web, The Future of XML,
and the intersection of privacy and the Semantic Web. These sessions are
intended as open discussion opportunities, to gather ideas from the Web
developer community.

Online registration is available from the WWW2005 Web site, and includes
options for single day registration as well as for the entire track. The
full conference program is also available, including the refereed paper
tracks, the Developer's Day program, and Tutorials and Workshops.
