This conference will focus on the current challenges in extending software
to support a wider range of languages - languages of emerging markets and
minority populations. It will explore how to make internationalization and
localization more efficient even when extending support to languages with
complex processing and rendering behavior.
Internationalization for the Expanded European Union:
On May 1, 2004, several countries joined the European Union (EU). The
25-country EU is the world's largest trader. This "Enlargement" creates
revenue opportunities but also imposes new internationalization and
localization requirements for software and web applications. Applications
will need to be evaluated for appropriate support for currency, fonts,
translations, multilingual publishing, and character encodings, to name just
a few criteria. IUC27 will identify these and other new requirements and
discuss effective ways to upgrade applications to meet the new challenges.
Collaboration with TILP:
The Institute of Localisation Professionals (TILP) will chair a track during
the conference, devoted to localization standards, tools, methodologies and
techniques. Improving efficiencies in localization is key to enabling
cost-effective, quick-to-market support of new language versions of
software.

submission registration form: http://www.unicode.org/iuc/iuc27/iuc27cfp.html
ATTENTION UNICODERS!
If you are using Unicode as the basis for internationalizing and localizing
software and web applications, bring your experience, knowledge and any
remaining questions to light! We invite you to submit papers describing
challenges you faced, lessons learned, and ideas for future implementation.
Our audience is very interested in how Unicode and internationalization are
being applied in the real world. Come and share your ideas with the peers
and industry experts in attendance.
INVITATION TO SUBMIT PAPERS
The Internationalization and Unicode Conference (IUC) is the premier
technical conference for software and multilingual computing, and it is your
source for the latest information on advances in the globalization of
software and the Internet.
The 27th IUC features a number of presentation formats including tutorials,
workshops, lectures, and panel discussions to support different learning
styles.
New technologies, innovative Internet applications, and the evolving Unicode
Standard bring new challenges along with their new capabilities. Join us in
exploring the opportunities created by the latest advances, understanding
how to leverage them, and the potential pitfalls. Share your ideas for best
practices for designing applications that can accommodate any language.
Attendees benefit from the wide range of basic to advanced topics and the
opportunities for dialog and idea exchange with experts and peers.
We invite you to submit papers on the conference themes or topics that
relate to Unicode or any aspect of software and Web Internationalization.

CONFERENCE ATTENDEES
Conference attendees are generally involved in either the development and
deployment of Unicode software, or the globalization of software and the
Internet. They include managers, software engineers, testers, systems
analysts, program managers, font designers, graphic designers, content
developers, web designers, web administrators, site coordinators, technical
writers, and product marketing personnel.
EXHIBIT OPPORTUNITIES
The Conference SHOWCASE area is for corporations and individuals who wish to
display and promote their products, technology and/or services. Every effort
will be made to provide maximum exposure, advertising and traffic.
Exhibit space is limited. For further information or to reserve a place,

THE UNICODE CONSORTIUM
The Unicode Consortium is a non-profit organization dedicated to the
development, maintenance and promotion of The Unicode Standard, a worldwide
character encoding. The Unicode Standard encodes the characters of the
world's principal scripts and languages, and is code-for-code identical to
the international standard ISO/IEC 10646. The Consortium also defines
character properties and algorithms for use in implementations. The
membership base of the Unicode Consortium includes major computer
corporations, software producers, database vendors, research institutions,
international agencies and various user groups.
For further information on the Unicode Standard, visit the Unicode Web site
at http://www.unicode.org or e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
