"Extend the Power of Business Processes: Bringing Data and Presentation
Together with XML"
  Charles Myers, Adobe

Organizations continually struggle to find the best ways of gathering,
distributing and sharing information across multiple audiences, both
internally and externally. One of the most challenging aspects of
solving this problem is to enable people to participate more efficiently
in business processes. In this discussion Mr. Myers will address the
challenges of bringing data and presentation together to help
organizations accelerate and simplify business processes.

Adobe's XML architecture integrates the visual presentation and data into a
common
framework, while separating the data and presentation interfaces. This
combination gives enterprises an extremely flexible method for creating
and extending business processes that efficiently integrate into an
organization's existing systems.
