INSTRUCTIONS (READ CAREFULLY!)
PLATFORM: If you presentation relates to only one or two specific hardware platforms, please mark those in the column. If your presentation is generic with respect to operating system, mark "NON-SPECIFIC".
EXPERTISE: Indicate whether you will target your presentation to Beginning, Intermediate, or Advanced Oracle users.
FUNCTION: Indicate whether your presentation will be appropriate for database administrators, designers, developers, managers, and/or end-users.
PRESENTATION TRACK: Implementation Story - This presentation should discuss a unique process and/or technique utilized in the implementation of a Oracle-based system. The presentation should discuss the business requirements and processes utilized to implement the solution. The "successful" and "not so successful" techniques utilized should be discussed to enhance the applicability in similar situations.
DBA Topics - The presentation should discuss a unique process and/or technique that would be of interest to other DBAs, including database tuning and performance, installation and upgrading, and any unique utilities you have discovered.
Distributed Computing Environment - Description of an application or technique utilizing distributed databases to include discussions of methodologies, SQL*Net, and/or Oracle Servers.
Methodology/CASE - Computer Assisted System Engineering (CASE) has always held great promise to increase the productivity and acceptability of systems. The presentation should discuss general issues relating to the design of a RDBMS. The presentation should detail theoretical and/or practical implementation of CASE into the software development lifecycle.
Developer/2000 - Description of an application involving a unique approach to on-line development, an unusual use of the Developer/2000 suite of tools, or advanced implementation of Developer/2000 features (e.g., triggers, user exits, GUI portability).
Tools - Oracle has always had a wide assortment of tools to use, from data transfers between systems (i.e. Oracle Loader), GUI development tools (i.e. Oracle Card) and many more tools including 3rd party tools (i.e. Powerbuilder, Visual Basic). The presentation should include a description of a tool or application using a tool. A description of the approach to development and any techniques used in implementing the technology should also be discussed.
Tips and Techniques - Discussion of a method or an approach to programming with Oracle which results in more effective or efficient code, resource utilization, or productivity.
Oracle Applications - Discussion of the installation, implementation and use of Oracle Applications, including Oracle Financials, Oracle Manufacturing and Oracle Human Resources.
Management - Managing in an ever-changing environment requires a thorough understanding of the technology and its hurdles. The discussion should center on management issues such as the benefits and pitfalls of downsizing, client/server technology, rightsizing, or any other management issue.
Decision Support - The need for information is growing exponentially every year. To keep up with this, organizations are pushing decision making down the ladder. How do we keep pace with the need for information? The presentation should cover a method or the implementation of decision support software.
3rd Party - Presentations must highlight the non-Oracle tools that interface to RDBMS. Topics should cover how specific tools were used in implementations, or incorporated into application or database solutions.
Master/Expert - Are you a master in a particular Oracle-related field? A discussion in this track should center around advanced topics that require considerable experience in Oracle product(s) or the computing field.
Data Warehousing - As the hottest topic in corporate IS organizations today, presentation should reflect the techniques and methodologies at work in this challenging arena, showing the potential tools and solutions that are available today.
3. Presentation Experience: Provide your presentation experience.
4. Presentation References: Provide your presentation references from
your response to #3.
5. Title: Provide the title of your presentation. This title will
appear in the conference agenda as you list it here. Please try to keep your title both concise and descriptive.
For example: Distributed Processing and Database Configurations
for Optimizing Performance
NOTE: Provide your title in Upper- and Lower-case letters.
6. Objective: Describe what you expect your audience to learn from
your presentation. For example:
This presentation will provide the audience with both theoretical and practical information which will help them design and implement distributed databases in a real-world environment. Included in the discussion will be a set of performance benchmarks that an attendee can take back to his/her own installation to help with the distributed database tuning and configuration process.
7. Abstract: Provide a concise, clear description of the content of
your presentation. Describe your topic, the key points you will cover, and the conclusion or generalizations to be drawn. For example:
Distributed processing configurations can provide improved performance compared with applications tuning on a single platform . This presentation provides the results of performance test of distributed processing and distributed data configurations. Using a "well-tuned" database installation on a single platform as a baseline, the effects of various client-server and distributed data options will be examined to determine which configurations contribute to improved performance.
