Seventh International Unicode Conference
September 14-15, 1995
San Jose, California, USA
CALL FOR PAPERS
Introduction to Conference:
The Unicode Standard is a 16-bit character encoding that is code-for-code
identical to International Standard ISO/IEC 10646. Encompassing the
world's principal scripts, it provides the foundation for the inter-
nationalization and localization of software. With its simple and
efficient approach to special and modified characters, the Unicode Standard
defines a new degree of data portability between platforms and across
borders. Software (especially modern, distributed systems) can be adapted
for particular countries far more easily than when existing character sets
are used.
The Unicode Consortium was founded in 1991 by an international group of
software companies as a non-profit organization to develop and promote the
Unicode Standard.
Six successful Unicode Implementers' Workshops have been held in the United
States, Germany and Japan. At these Workshops, character encoding experts
and experienced software designers covered specific practical problems,
identified solutions, and provided case studies of Unicode implementations
already available or underway.
The Seventh International Unicode Conference has the theme: Software
Globalization. As well as addressing implementation of the Unicode
Standard, and its relationship to International Standard ISO/IEC 10646,
the Conference will cover all issues related to the globalization of
software (with or without Unicode support) for today's world market-
place.
Intended Audience:
Managers, engineers, software developers, systems analysts, programmers
and product marketing personnel responsible for the development of
software supporting Unicode/ISO 10646 as well as those involved in all
aspects of the globalization of software.
Information for Presenters:
Presentations will be limited to 40 minutes, including a 10 minute
question and answer period.
Suggested topics are listed below. Please use them merely as
guidelines. While the emphasis of the Conference is on work based on the
Unicode Standard, papers on the globalization of software (regardless of
Unicode support) are welcomed.
- Unicode implementation issues
Code set conversions
Program migration
Scripts, font rendering and design, mathematical text
Internationalization of Windows, OS/2, etc.
- Localization processes
- Internationalization processes
- Software Globalization processes and issues
Technical implementation in globalization of software
- Marketing, financial and legal issues
