MARKUP TECHNOLOGIES DETAILS

MT'99 will focus on technical issues relating to the
design, development, and deployment of a variety of
markup  technologies including but not limited to SGML,
XML, and related standards.

This conference provides a three-day forum for technical
(sometimes highly technical) presentations, question and
answer sessions, and informal discussions of markup,
data-bases, query languages, schema issues, stylesheet
languages and perhaps behavior sheets, and more.

Papers at Markup Technologies must address some aspect of
markup from a theoretical or practical standpoint, consist
of all new material, and be detailed and rigorous. All
papers will be peer reviewed to ensure high quality and
technical merit.



PEER REVIEW

The Technical Committee of Markup Technologies seeks
applicants to participate in the conference's Peer
Review Panel. Peer Review Panel members will review
several potential papers for the conference, suggesting
whether the paper should be accepted, where in the
conference it should be placed, and ways in which the
presentation could be improved.

All papers will be sent to the Peer Reviewers without
attribution, and any suggestions for improvements will
be forwarded to the author without attribution. In other
words, this will be a double-blind review process.

Peer Reviews play a key role in maintaining the quality
and diversity of the presentations at a conference. If you
have any questions about the Peer Review process or the
role of members of the Peer review Panel please contact:
	B. Tommie Usdin <btusdin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
	Deborah A. Lapeyre <dlapeyre@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
 	C. M. Sperberg-McQueen <tei@xxxxxxx>


If you are interested in participating in Markup
Technologies as a Peer Reviewer, please complete the peer
review application form at
http://www.mulberrytech.com/MT99/MTPeer or contact
<MT99@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>.



CONFERENCE PAPERS

Paper presentations will be 30 minutes long, followed by
10 minutes for questions.  Presentations must be content-
or technically-oriented; product or service descriptions
or advertisements are not appropriate. Case studies
should focus on the problem(s) and approaches to solving
them. No sales pitches will be tolerated. All papers will
be submitted for blind review to a Peer Review Panel to
aid in selection. Papers will be chosen based on technical
merit, interest, applicability, and how well they fit a
coherent and balanced technical program.

All presenters must agree to: Give their presentation and
answer questions in English, Follow the Markup Technologies
speaker and audio-visual guidelines, and Register for the
conference.

One speaker discounted registration fee of $250 will be
available for each paper, if the revised paper is
received on schedule. All papers will be published in both
the print and electronic conference proceedings.

Proposals to speak at Markup Technologies MUST be in the
form of FULL PAPERS. This policy is different from many
other GCA Conferences. Would-be speakers who submit
abstracts without full papers will be rejected. Papers
must be submitted in SGML or valid XML according to the
Markup Technologies Paper DTD which is available in both
SGML and XML forms at:
 SGML: http://www.mulberrytech.com/MT99/mtsgmldtd.html
  XML: http://www.mulberrytech.com/MT99/mtxmldtd.html
The DTD is heavily commented. Please read these comments -
they are likely to answer many of your questions.


TUTORIALS

Markup Technologies tutorials may be one or two days long,
and will be intended for a technical audience. Tutorials
may be new, but we also welcome tutorials that have been
given successfully elsewhere. Tutorial instructors will
receive free registration for the full conference and a
copy of the conference proceedings.

If you are interested in teaching a Tutorial at MT'99,
please complete the tutorial application form at
