Applications Talks at Naples

[Tom McGlynn]

Dear Colleagues,

This letter is a request to let us know if you would like to give a 
presentation in the Applications sessions at the Naples InterOp. 
Currently there are four sessions for Apps though the details of the 
schedule may change.  A tentative schedule for the Applications 
sessions is available at 
http://www.ivoa.net/cgi-bin/twiki/bin/viewauth/IVOA/InterOpMay2011Applications. 


One session will discuss the SAMP standard and issues related to 
registering applications.

We anticipate two sessions for demonstrations and discussion of 
applications in general.  These sessions are nominally divided into 
Web and local application sessions but that's just a convenient method 
of organization and may be changed if appropriate to use the time 
effectively.  Generally these talks/demos are ~15 minutes including 
questions.  Note that one of the primary focuses of these talks and 
demos should be how the IVOA standards help or hinder the application. 
  We want to give feedback on the development of the IVOA standards.

A special session joint with the DAL WG is for TAP applications. 
This is targeted particularly to end-user applications that use TAP. 
  Data providers talking about building TAP servers may be 
accommodated if there is time.

If you wish to give a talk, please send information to Mark or me 
including the authors, title, a short description of the talk and the 
session in which you hope to present.

	Regards,
