AUC Academic & Developers Conference
2001
James Cook University, Townsville
23rd to 26th September, 2001
Conference Theme
The theme is "e-Xplore 2001: A Face-to-Face Odyssey". The theme
links the growth in the information world and e-solutions in recent years
along with the release of Mac OS X by Apple Computer as well as focusing
on the personal interactivity that is an integral part of the conference.
By demonstrating concepts and solutions, attendees can take home the ideas
and implement them successfully in their own environment. There will be
three streams:
- Academic e-Xcellence - How
Apple technology is making academics more successful in research and
teaching.
- The Student e-Xperience –
How students learn and experience the world of technology from both
a student and academic perspective.
- Developer e-Xcitement – Mac OS X’s UNIX ‘roots’ will be widely embraced by many. This stream focuses on how developers are taking advantage of the exciting opportunities presented by Mac OS X.
The conference committee strongly encourages software and hardware developers to present at this conference. Developers may submit academic papers for publication, or may submit proposals for less formal presentations. To this end, specific developer facilities and resourcing will be allocated for demonstrations, workshops and show and tell sessions.
