"EUROPEAN XML DEVCON 2001 CONTINUES TRADITION OF TECHNICAL EXCELLENCE"

Camelot Communications XML DevCon Series Delivers -- Spotlight on Web 
Services, UDDI, and ebXML News -- and Sets the Stage for XML DevCon 
Spring 2001 in New York City

http://www.xmldevcon2001.com/ -- Camelot Communications, leading 
producers of IT conferences focusing on emerging technologies 
including open source software, XML, Java, and Wireless, received 
critical acclaim for the XML DevCon Europe Spring 2001 conference 
program. The conference, which ran 21 - 23 February in London, 
featured a program of enterprise XML education and instruction about 
emerging global e-business standards.

The London event featured a distinguished faculty that included Dr. 
Henry Thompson and Dr. Peter Chen. In a keynote presentation, Henry 
Thompson discussed the XML Meta-Architecture 
(http://www.ltg.ed.ac.uk/~ht/XML_MetaArchitecture.html). Dr. Chen 
presented "XLink and Conceptual Modeling", Richard Tobin presented 
"XML Infoset and Schemas", David Orchard presented "Web Services, 
UDDI, and XML Protocol", and Martin Bryan presented "The Role of 
Process-Controlled Components in ebXML Messages." The program also 
included a Schema workshop by Henry Thompson, Michael Rys, and JP 
Morgenthal, and a Stylesheets and Transformations workshop by Ken 
Holman, Bob DuCharme, Benoit Marchal, and Sebastian Rahtz. One of the 
key e-business sessions was a panel discussion with Mark Colan (IBM), 
David Turner (Microsoft), Stefano Pogliani (Sun), and James Tauber 
(Bowstreet) about "Web Services, ebXML, UDDI, and Trading Partner 
Agreements."

"The challenge of staying current about today's software technologies 
is formidable so professional education is important. Our speakers 
have been the key to our success in putting together superior 
technical programs for conferences in the US and Europe. Feedback 
from our speakers indicates they feel our XML conference series 
offers superior content. When plaudits come from industry icons, we 
know we're doing something right" said Conference Chair Ken North.

"Camelot Communications strives to present the most relevant and 
technically-grounded shows, bar none. The positive feedback we're 
receiving from speakers motivates us to continuously improve our 
conferences," said Terry DeGiuli, President of Camelot 
Communications. "It is an honor to have premier speakers and 
industry-shaking news -- like that of SOAP, UDDI and ebXML -- come 
together under the XML DevCon banner. We look forward to continuing 
these market-shifting discussions at XML DevCon Spring 2001 in New 
York."

The XML DevCon series continues in New York City, 8 - 11 April. 
Featuring ebXML Day, 9 April, and UDDI Day, 10 April.

XML DevCon Mission Statement:

The XML DevCon series of conferences expose developers to topical and 
timely information about enterprise XML, a domain of technologies 
used for building industrial-strength Web and eBusiness applications, 
and integration technologies.

In addition to updating developers on key XML-related specifications 
and technologies, XML DevCons provide instruction on designing 
documents and programming with XML application programming interfaces 
(APIs). The conferences also present developers with a wide array of 
XML application technologies such as middleware, databases, 
scripting, messaging, content aggregation, application servers, 
mobile computing, application-to-application integration, and 
enterprise Java. In short, the XML DevCon events present professional 
education about 'XML in the large' and a venue for exhibiting 
products for developers building eBusiness and enterprise 
applications.
