Washington Area Informix Users Group - Forum 2006 Call for Presen tations
Informix User Forum 2006 A Two-Day User Group Technical Conference December 8-9, 2006 Washington DC, USA The Washington Area Informix User Group (WAIUG) and the Southeast Informix Users Group (SEIUG), based in Atlanta, GA, are teaming up to present Informix and DB2 User Forum 2006, the premiere Informix and DB2 regional user group technical conference in the eastern U.S. The Informix User Forum, previously sponsored biennially by WAIUG, has long had a reputation for excellence in both value and technical content. Now, the two groups have joined forces to evolve the Forum into an annual two-day conference. This year's event will be held December 8-9 in Washington DC. Forum 2006 promises to provide even more technical content, plus opportunities to network with fellow users and access to information on the latest vendor offerings. This, combined with a registration fee of US$ 120.00 (pre-register for $80) for the entire conference, makes the value of this event hard to beat. Call For Presentations We are currently accepting presentation abstracts for the Forum on Informix and DB2 related topics in any of the areas listed below. Subjects related to all current DB2, Informix and Informix-heritage products are welcome, as well as products that operate in those environments such as other IBM products, plus third party, Open Source and cross-platform products. Presenters will receive a complimentary all-conference pass. The Forum will be organized into three general subject areas or tracks that will run concurrently. The Application Development track will cover such topics as application development tools and methodologies, application and database architecture, and maximizing application and SQL performance as well as aspects of Informix that provide a distinct edge in application development and processing such as emerging technologies like XML and Web services, operation in cross-platform and heterogeneous environments, and support for Open Source and third-party tools.. The Database Engines and Administration track will feature sessions on topics including database and data warehouse design and administration, performance tuning, backup and restore, and security. The DB2 track will feature sessions on topics including database and data warehouse design and administration, performance tuning, backup and restore, and security. Tracks will feature extended session lengths of 70 minutes, which conference goers have said they prefer.
