Description of Tutorial
What is meant by dynamic webpage content? To a webpage author would it include:
The World-Wide Web Consortium's definition of Dynamic HTML (DHTML) does include all these features and more! This full-day tutorial will cover the key components of DHTML and how webpage authors can effectively use them.
Many of the capabilities of DHTML are presently available in the most popular web browsers. Numerous examples of DHTML application will be demonstrated. Finally, this tutorial will address what remains to be accomplished in the development of DHTML and how webpage authors can participate.
About the Presenter:
Bebo White is a computational physicist at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) with academic appointments at the University of California, Berkeley and the University of San Francisco. He became involved in Web technology while working at CERN in 1989 and was instrumental in the establishment of the first non-European website at SLAC (www.slac.stanford.edu). Ever since that time the web (in his opinion) has virtually taken over his professional life.
Bebo has lectured and conducted classes internationally for academic and commercial audiences. He is the author of two books and numerous articles and papers. (One of the most recent, "The World Wide Web and High Energy Physics," appears in the November 1998 issue of Physics Today). He has served on numerous conference advisory and program committees and was the co-chair of the Sixth International WWW Conference (WWW6).
The Extensible Markup Language (XML) is a set of specifications enabling structured document and data interchange on the World Wide Web. Developed under the auspices of the World Wide Web Consortium, XML is a scaled-down version of the ISO standard SGML. It is simpler to implement than SGML but far more powerful than HTML.
Widely acknowledged as the next revolution on the World Wide Web, XML is emerging as one of the most exciting and important technologies for web publishing and electronic commerce.
This tutorial provides an overview of the various XML specifications, both finalised and in progress. After a top-down overview, looks at the basic syntax of XML documents and the role of DTDs. Then goes on to look at hyperlinking with XLink and XPointer and the use of XSL stylesheets with XML. Finally looks at what people are doing with XML now and what's planned in the future.
PREREQUISITES
Attendees should have a reasonable understanding of the Web and HTML. Part of the tutorial will be of greater benefit to those with programming experience.
About the Presenter
James Tauber is a lecturer and researcher at Curtin University's Electronic Commerce Network and has consulted in the areas of document management, electronic publishing, web site management and XML. He was one of the invited experts originally brought together by the World Wide Web Consortium to help develop XML and continues to serve on the XML Syntax and Infoset Working Groups. James maintains one of the most popular and well-regarded XML sites on the web and is the author of a forthcoming book on XML.

"Managing digital imaging and images for a variety of uses - from family historian, through university collections and courses, to national institutions".
This non-technical workshop will look at the why, what and how aspects of managing the digitisation of images, primarily for Web presentation. Many of the principles will also apply to the digitisation of text and other media. Topics include:
All participants will receive a copy of their 1998 information paper Capturing the Big Picture: Strategies for image libraries at the National Museum of Australia.
About the Presenters:
Dr Katy Bramich is the Director of Digitisation Projects and Judith Cannon is the Project Officer, Digitisation Program, at the National Museum of Australia.

Your Dean said you were teaching over the WWW next semester! You ask: "Web-based learning, What works and why?"
For the lecturer or professor, seasoned or rookie, to take on a new task can be a daunting affair. This one day workshop will look at the steps that one can take to work their way through the organization, planning, development, support and delivery of a web-based program. Here are a few of the areas we will look at:

Cyberspace, in the shape of the Internet, intranets, extranets, and the World Wide Web, has grown phenomenally in recent years. Cyberspace now contains enormous amounts of information and is also being increasingly exploited for a number business and other applications. However, effective use of cyberspace and of the information in it is becoming increasingly difficult.
There is now growing interest in deploying intelligent software agents for effectively using cyberspace in a wide variety of applications. Software agents can act as smart personal assistants, roam cyberspace to collect required information on behalf of the users and conduct a variety of business transactions and functions online. They could also collectively perform complex, collaborative tasks.
This tutorial would provide a brief introduction to intelligent agents and discuss how they are currently being used in a wide variety of applications in cyberspace ñ information retrieval, filtering and delivery, smart shopping, scheduling meetings, recommender systems, match making, etc.

Description:
As the World Wide Web grows, so do attempts to control its use. The nature of the Web is changing from the free-wheeling, information-sharing culture of yesteryear to an arena where copyright owners are determined to assert ,exploit and enforce their rights. In the US, President Clinton has just signed into existence the Digital Millenium Copyright Act, a piece of legislation which must change the way we think about intellectual property.
Other jurisdictions will follow suit. Those who wish to work and play on the Web need to be aware of their rights and obligations when dealing with copyright material, in both upload and download situations.
Publishing on the web can mean simultaneous publication in many different jurisdictions, where different laws apply. This tutorial is designed to provide basic information on copyright law as it affects cyberspace, so that both the novice and professional Web user can access the Web with confidence.
There are no prerequisites for this tutorial, but bring your questions and particular problems to discuss.
I expect that after this tutorial, participants will:

Many of the greatest challenges facing Webmasters today involve surmounting internal issues brought about by the unique demands of Web communication. The latest high-tech buzzwords for these problems are work-around issues.
These challenges are especially prevalent in large academic, governmental, and corporate environments where Web sites are developed and managed by different departments, contain varying content, and target multiple audiences. This half-day tutorial will discuss some the myriad of work-around issues faced by Webmasters and how to work around them in within their organizational structures. The tutorial will utilize active learning techniques, small group exercises, limited presentations, case studies, and discussions to share and gain usable knowledge and experience in these matters.
Work-Around issues to be discussed include:
