By describing mathematical notation in XML,
MathML allows mathematics to
be served, received, and processed on the Web, just as HTML enables
this functionality for resources like text and images.
The UK Office is running a series of 2 day hands-on courses on XML at the Rutherford Appleton
Laboratory in 2001. If you are interested in attending this course please email Wendy Ferguson.
Instructions for submitting conference posters are now available at WWWW10.
The Poster track will provide an ideal opportunity for
conference attendees to learn about new and innovative
work-in progress, and to preview on-going research projects
that might not yet be complete, but whose preliminary results
are already interesting. Posters will be reviewed by members
of the Poster Committee based on originality, significance,
quality, and clarity. Accepted posters will be displayed in
a dedicated poster area, and presented during a poster
reception. Poster Papers will appear in a separate proceedings
distributed to conference attendees. To encourage poster
submissions of good quality, a Best Poster Award will be
presented at the conference. For more information,
please send e-mail to the Posters Chair.
