Intelligent Content 2010: Making the Magic Happen -- Call for Presentations

http://www.rockley.com/IntelligentContent2010

Intelligent Content is structurally rich and semantically aware and is therefore automatically discoverable, reusable, reconfigurable and adaptable to best meet the needs of the customer. Intelligent Content can seem like magic but it doesn't "just happen". It takes analysis, planning and creativity on many levels to achieve that seamless appearance of magic.

We're looking for speakers who are working to "make that magic happen" for their customers and who can present on such topics as:

  • Adaptive content
  • Content mining
  • Context aware behavior
  • Dynamic device adaptation
  • Integrated social software and semantics
  • Personalization
  • Semantic retrieval

We're looking for great presentations from outstanding speakers. We're looking for the visionary, but we're also looking for the practical. We want our attendees to learn something useful - something they can use when they return to the office. We want presentations, case studies, panel sessions and interactive demonstrations.
