CALL FOR PARTICIPATION


Goals

The goal of this symposium-style workshop is to produce a detailed use 
case literature covering the technical aspects of DDI3 implementation. 
Some selected exploratory topics like interoperability with other 
domains and technologies will also be examined.


Description of the Workshop

Implementations and planned implementations will be presented by a 
number of attendees and discussed by other presenters and invited 
experts. This workshop provides an opportunity to share experiences with 
other advanced implementers of DDI3 and experts in the DDI3 technical 
specification, obtain a real time peer review and create the beginnings 
of a strong use case literature for DDI3 implementations. The hosts and 
participants in the workshop are expected to look critically at the use 
cases presented and provide any input that is appropriate.


Expected Results

Use cases discussed at the workshop will be written up and published in 
the new DDI Alliance On-line Working Paper Series.


Venue

The workshop will take place at the Leibniz Center for Informatics, 
Schloss Dagstuhl, Wadern, Germany. The non-profit centre is a member of 
the Leibniz Association and is funded jointly by the German federal 
government and a number of state governments. The venue provides an 
intense working atmosphere in a nice remote region. Several seminar 
rooms and cafeteria while the day, and leisure rooms like wine bar and 
billiard room while the evening promote intense discussion and 
communication. Accommodation costs at Dagstuhl including full board is 
60 Euro/day/person (subsidized rate). The maximum number of participants 
is 21 people.
