3rd International Workshop on
XQuery Implementation, Experience and Perspectives

Collocated with ACM SIGMOD/PODS 2006, Chicago, USA
Sponsored by ACM SIGMOD

Please join us for XIME-P 2006, the third workshop in the XIME-P series, dedicated to research and industrial efforts on the implementation, utilization, and overall prospects of XQuery.
XQuery development is happening on the verge of databases, document processing, and programming languages. This ''heterogeneity'' in contributions and attendees has been a source of lively debate and an interesting technical program for previous XIME-P editions. In this spirit, XIME-P 2006 features a mixture of seven talks, discussions, demoing, and a concluding panel. A keynote address by Don Chamberlin (IBM Almaden) - a lead of the W3C XQuery Working Group - will open the day.
Last but not least, all odds are that after 8 years of work XQuery will become a standard at around the time of SIGMOD 2006, making 2006 a landmark year for XQuery as well as XIME-P.
XIME-P 2006 is held in the Renaissance Chicago Hotel, i.e., the SIGMOD 2006 conference hotel, all-day on Friday, June 30, 2006.
If you are the architect of an XQuery implementation or if you build interesting applications with an XQuery core, XIME-P 2006 is your ideal opportunity for unlimited bragging about and discussion of your system. The venue will be stuffed with interested peers.
The ''Caffeine and Code'' joint coffee and demonstration break (90 min) of XIME-P 2006 calls for your system to be demoed. This will be informal and open and you are sincerely invited to drop us a note at
ximep-2006_at_ximep-2006.org
or to contact the workshop chairs (Mike Carey, Torsten Grust) directly. (Please include a brief description of your system and the scope of your demo.)
