Wolfram Research to Host First MathML Conference
September 21, 2000--Wolfram Research, Inc. is the host of the first MathML
and Math on the Web conference, to be held October 20-21, 2000, on the
campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. This conference
brings together those interested or involved in the future of math on the
web. The conference is sponsored by Wolfram Research, the AMS (American
Mathematical Society), Compaq, IBM, Netscape, the University of Illinois
Grainger Engineering Library, Waterloo Maple, and the W3C (World Wide Web
Consortium).
This conference provides a forum for presenting and discussing current
research and applications involving MathML, an XML application for
describing mathematical notation and capturing both its structure and
its content. MathML is the W3C-endorsed standard for displaying math on the
web.
The conference embraces all areas of MathML technologies, including
rendering, authoring, converting, and archiving.
Scheduled events include an opening video address by Tim Berners-Lee,
creator of the World Wide Web and director of the W3C, as well as keynote
addresses by Robert Sutor, IBM Program Director for XML Technology, and
Stephen Wolfram, founder of Wolfram Research and creator of
Mathematica.
More information about the conference, including the schedule of events
and
presentation abstracts, is available on the MathML conference web site at
