Date: Mon, 10 Apr 2000 18:34:21 -0700 From: "Long, Mike" Subject: SWEQSIG:Web Page Engineering Tuesday 4/25/2000, 7:30-9pm @ St. Anselm's in Manchester NH Presenter: James D. Isaak Date & Time - Tuesday 4/25/2000, 7:30-9pm Where: St. Anselm's in Manchester NH, Cushing Student Center Topic: Web Page Engineering Abstract: Creating web sites is easy; anyone can do it. They can be flashy and fun. However, a poorly engineered web site can be expensive to maintain, difficult to navigate, and even a legal liability. As with so many aspects of engineering, "do it right the first time, or do it over (and over and over)." The IEEE CS Internet Best Practices working group has documented the best practices for web page engineering (IEEE Standard 2001-1999) and is currently revising this work to accommodate both rapid changes in the technology and better understanding of what techniques exist. This talk will provide an overview of recommended web page engineering practices that aid in the creation of web sites that are productive andmaintainable. Topics include: Design and Life cycle Considerations; Audience and objectives; Client/Server technology, HTML, CSS, XML - Versions and Variations; Legal Implications Intellectual Property Rights, Copyright, Trademarks, Proprietary Information; Accessibility -- for disabled persons, privacy; Server, HTTP - performance, metrics, robot exclusion, ease of use; Metadata -- Dublin Core, PICS, Robots, Keywords, bandwidth impact; Dates - Year 2000, Maintenance; International considerations -- language, practical considerations, and legal awareness. Bio: James D. Isaak , a Senior Member of the IEEE, was most recently the Director of Information Infrastructure Standards at Digital Equipment Corp. He is currently a member of the Computer Society's Board of Governors and has served as Vice President for Standards (1995-1998) and Techinical Activities (1999). He has authored numerous articles on open systems and one on the Information Highway as early as 1978 (Computer, Oct. 1978). **** These seminars are FREE and we encourage your attendance.

Take the exit to Rte 101 West (toward Bedford) Go through traffic lights onto Rte. 114 (toward Goffstown) After you go through the traffic lights at the 101 & 114 intersection head towards the 2nd set of lights from this intersection. At 1st stoplight you will see a Bedford Miniature Golf center on your right. Go through this set of lights and go to the next set of lights. At the 2nd stoplight take a right. You will see entrances to St. Anselms on your right (approximately a mile).
