Twenty-second International Unicode Conference (IUC22)
Unicode and the Web: Evolution or Revolution?
http://www.unicode.org/iuc/iuc22
September 9-13, 2002
San Jose, California
***********************************************************************
Call for Papers >>> Just 6 weeks to go >>> Send in your submission now!
***********************************************************************
Submissions due: May 10, 2002
Notification date: May 31, 2002
Completed papers due : June 21, 2002
(in electronic form and camera-ready paper form)
The software industry continues its rapid growth and change. In this
year alone, Unicode 3.2 was released and several new proposals for the
Internet and the World Wide Web were promoted to standards. Web
Services is the latest buzz. Are the vendors of software that support
these technologies keeping up? How can you be sure that you are
deploying software components that work well together today and in the
future? This Conference is where you go to find out. Experts will
describe the latest changes to the Unicode standard and the other
standards used for e-business today. You will also learn about the best
practices for utilizing, integrating and deploying these technologies
based on real-world examples and experience. Demonstrations are often
provided.
We invite you to submit papers which either define the software of
tomorrow, demonstrate best practice with today's software, or articulate
problems that must be solved before further advances can occur. Papers
should discuss subjects in the context of Unicode, internationalization
or localization. You can view the programs of previous Conferences at:
http://www.unicode.org/unicode/conference/about-conf.html
Conference attendees are generally involved in either the development,
deployment or use of Unicode software or content, or the globalization
of software and the Internet. They include managers, software engineers,
systems analysts, font designers, graphic designers, content developers,
technical writers, and product marketing personnel.

THE UNICODE CONSORTIUM
The Unicode Consortium was founded as a non-profit organization in 1991.
It is dedicated to the development, maintenance and promotion of The
Unicode Standard, a worldwide character encoding. The Unicode Standard
encodes the characters of the world's principal scripts and languages,
and is code-for-code identical to the international standard ISO/IEC
10646. In addition to cooperating with ISO on the future development of
ISO/IEC 10646, the Consortium is responsible for providing character
properties and algorithms for use in implementations. Today the
membership base of the Unicode Consortium includes major computer
corporations, software producers, database vendors, research
institutions, international agencies and various user groups.
For further information on the Unicode Standard, visit the Unicode Web
site at http://www.unicode.org or e-mail <info@unicode.org>
