XML 2003 Interoperability Demonstrations to Showcase
Industry Standards, Integrated Vendor Solutions
Alexandria, VA - Nov. 19, 2003 - IDEAlliance, a leading trade association dedicated to fostering information technology standards, today announced that XML Conference and Exposition 2003 will feature several "interoperability demonstrations" organized by OASIS, W3C, and WS-I. The demonstrations will showcase numerous vendors' products working together to help businesses solve critical IT challenges. XML Conference and Exposition 2003 is being held Dec. 7-12 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia, Pa.
Marion Elledge, vice president of Information Technology Alliances & Conferences, IDEAlliance, says that the demonstrations highlight the importance of standards in allowing disparate products to join together to form comprehensive, tightly integrated business solutions.
"Simply put, standards are the 'glue' that allow companies to tie together different products to best meet their unique business and workflow needs," says Elledge. "These demonstrations, organized by leading standards organizations such as OASIS and W3C, will focus on real-world solutions made possible by industry standards and product interoperability."
OASIS (Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards), a global consortium that drives the development, convergence, and adoption of e-business standards, has organized five demonstrations featuring a variety of OASIS standards and specifications:
* Achieving Interoperability Using Test Frameworks

And now your toner's toney, Disk blocks aplenty
And your paper near pure white, Await your laser drawn lines,
The smudges on your soul are gone Your intricate fonts,
And your output's clean as light.. Your pictures and signs.
We've labored with your father, Your amputative absence
The venerable XGP, Has made the Ten dumb,
But his slow artistic hand, Without you, Dover,
Lacks your clean velocity. We're system untounged-
Theses and papers DRAW Plots and TEXage
And code in a queue Have been biding their time,
Dover, oh Dover, With LISP code and programs,
We've been waiting for you. And this crufty rhyme.
Dover, oh Dover, Dover, oh Dover, arisen from dead.
We welcome you back, Dover, oh Dover, awoken from bed.
Though still you may jam, Dover, oh Dover, welcome back to the Lab.
You're on the right track. Dover, oh Dover, we've missed your clean
hand...

glucophage online The Greatest Mathematical Error
The Mariner I space probe was launched from Cape Canaveral on 28
July 1962 towards Venus. After 13 minutes' flight a booster engine would
give acceleration up to 25,820 mph; after 44 minutes 9,800 solar cells
would unfold; after 80 days a computer would calculate the final course
corrections and after 100 days the craft would cirlce the unknown planet,
scanning the mysterious cloud in which it is bathed.
However, with an efficiency that is truly heartening, Mariner I
plunged into the Atlantic Ocean only four minutes after takeoff.
Inquiries later revealed that a minus sign had been omitted from
the instructions fed into the computer. "It was human error", a launch
spokesman said.
This minus sign cost L4,280,000.
