INVITATION TO SUBMIT PAPERS

The Internationalization & Unicode Conference is the premier technical
conference worldwide for both software and Web internationalization.
The conference features tutorials, lectures, and panel discussions that
provide coverage of standards, best practices, and recent advances in the
globalization of software and the Internet. The conference continues to
provide a forum for identifying and discussing new issues in this field.

New technologies, innovative Internet applications, and the evolving
Unicode Standard bring new challenges along with their new capabilities.
This technical conference will explore the opportunities created by the latest
advances, how to leverage them, and the potential pitfalls. Their impact on
business and the problem areas that need further research will also be
identified. Best practices for designing applications that can accommodate
any language will be demonstrated.

Attendees benefit from the wide range of basic to advanced topics and the
opportunities for dialog and idea exchange with experts and peers.
We invite you to submit papers that relate to Unicode or any aspect of
software and Web Internationalization, with special emphasis on the themes
discussed below. You can view the programs of previous conferences at:

THEME: INTERNATIONAL COMPUTING SOLUTIONS FOR GLOBAL BUSINESS

"International Computing Solutions for Global Business" is the overall
theme of the Conference.

In today's tight economy, companies are looking for productivity
improvements and increased international sales. One of many challenges is
to maximize use of existing resources while accomplishing these achievements.
Another is to incorporate new standards and technologies to gain competitive
features.

In support of the theme and these challenges, papers on GLOBAL BUSINESS and
NEW TECHNOLOGIES are requested. More details on the theme and other topics
of interest can be found at our web site:
http://www.unicode.org/iuc/iuc24/call.html

We invite you to submit papers which define tomorrow's computing, demonstrate
best practices in computing today, or articulate problems that must be
solved before further advances can occur. Presentations should be geared
towards a technical audience.

THE UNICODE CONSORTIUM

The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit organization dedicated to the
development, maintenance and promotion of The Unicode Standard, a worldwide
character encoding.  The Unicode Standard encodes the characters of the
world's principal scripts and languages, and is code-for-code identical to
the international standard ISO/IEC 10646.  The Consortium also defines
character properties and algorithms for use in implementations.  The
membership base of the Unicode Consortium includes major computer
corporations, software producers, database vendors, research institutions,
international agencies and various user groups.

For further information on the Unicode Standard, visit the Unicode Web site
at http://www.unicode.org or e-mail <info@unicode.org>
