Call for Participation -- XTech 2007 http://2007.xtech.org/ Paris, France. 15-18 May 2007 Proposals for presentations and tutorials are invited for XTech 2007, Europe's premier web technologies conference. The deadline for submitting proposals is December 15th, 2006. Read the CFPs and submit proposals online at http://xtech.expectnation.com/event/1/public/cfp The theme for this year's conference is "The Ubiquitous Web". As the web reaches further into our lives, we will consider the increasing ubiquity of connectivity, what it means for real world objects to connect with the web, and the increasing blurring of the lines between virtual worlds and our own. The technologies underpinning these developments include mobile devices, RFID, Second Life, location-aware services, Google Earth and more. The issues surrounding them include privacy, intellectual property, activism, politics, regulation and standards. XTech is comprised of four thematic tracks: * Applications: web applications, vocabularies, publishing, content management, case studies * Browser Technologies: browsers, mobile, user interface, related issues and standards. * Core Technology: the heart of web technology, markup, protocols, semantics and more. * Open Data: technology, experiences and policy behind open access to data. More detail on the content for each track can be found at http://xtech.expectnation.com/event/1/public/content/tracks Keynotes for XTech 2007 include Adam Greenfield, author of "Everyware: The Dawning Age of Ubiquitous Computing", Gavin Starks of Global Cool and designers of the future Matt Webb and Jack Schulze.
