Hi Folks,

It seems that the below announcement didn't make it to the list, so I am forwarding Tommie Usdin's announcement. The conference looks great! /Roger


ANNOUNCING the
International Symposium on
Quality Assurance and Quality Control in XML

Monday August 6, 2012
Hotel Europa, Montréal, Canada

A one-day discussion of issues relating to Quality Control and Quality Assurance in the XML environment.

XML systems and software are complex and constantly changing. XML documents are highly varied, may be large or small, and often have complex life-cycles. In this challenging environment quality is difficult to define, measure, or control, yet the justifications for using XML often include promises or implications relating to quality.

We invite papers on all aspects of quality with respect to XML systems, including but not limited to:

. Defining, measuring, testing, improving, and documenting quality
. Quality in documents, document models, software, transformations, or queries
. Case studies in the control of quality in an XML environment
. Theoretical or practical approaches to measuring quality in XML
. Does the presence of XML, XML schemas, and XML tools make quality checking easier, harder, or even different from other computing environments
. Should XML transforms and schemas be QAed as software? Or configuration files? Or documents? Does it matter?

Paper submissions due April 20, 2012.
