http://www.xmldevcon2001.com/ -- Camelot Communications, leading producer
of IT conferences focusing on emerging technologies including open-source,
XML, Java, and Wireless, announces the XML DevCon Europe 2001 program. The
three-day conference, to be held February 21-23 in London, will build on the
highly successful U.S.-based XML DevCon series. At the forefront of
conference discussion will be the push to establish global electronic
business interchange standards, such as the Universal Description, Discovery
and Integration (UDDI) initiative and the ebXML framework.
Camelot Communications' XML DevCon series brings together industry leaders
and XML enthusiasts from around the world - including programmers,
developers, engineers, software architects, system engineers, Web
developers, product managers, project leaders, consultants and educators -
with a common challenge of understanding how new services-oriented Web
models will transform distributed computing and Internet exchange in the
next few years.
"Both top players in the XML space as well as newcomers taking their first
XML-steps for their business will be attending XML DevCon in London. The
wide-range of timely topics and the distinguished list of speakers and
panelists offer a valuable and unprecedented education program for
enterprise XML and eBusiness. The faculty includes W3C, IEEE and ACM
fellows, several of the pioneers of XML/EDI technology and key players in
ebXML and UDDI. The combination of interactive exhibit floor and technical
education program provide an unmatched opportunity for developers to boost
their XML and eBusiness skills," said Ken North, Conference Chair.
"As a global business standard on the Web gains momentum, the need for
up-to-date information and critical analysis of software options in the XML
marketplace is critical. Europe is a hotbed of XML interest so it is
important to
offer events for European developers wanting access to industry experts and
the
latest XML solutions," said Terry De Giuli, President of Camelot
Communications.
"Bringing the XML DevCon series to London provides a forum for emerging
companies
to leverage their success in the high-growth European eCommerce sector."
According to Gartner Group, the European Internet economy will be $1.2
trillion by 2004, equal to nearly 15 percent of Western Europe's current GDP
(gross domestic product) value. The electronic-commerce market alone,
currently worth $40.8 billion, will grow to $1.1 trillion in the same time
period, generating the majority of Europe's expansion. The market leaders in
2001 are: Germany, with an estimated $12.6 billion in eCommerce transactions
this year; the United Kingdom, with $11.8 billion; the Netherlands, with
$5.7 billion, and France, with $2.7 billion.
