ELECTRONIC ID & CITIZEN CENTRIC ADMINISTRATION | AN OASIS WORKSHOP ON E-GOVERNMENT
Thursday, 1 May
9:00 AM - 5:30 PM
Good e-government starts from the citizen's eye view, not the bureaucrat's needs. Many expensive e-government investments have failed to deliver - we have good information online, but this adds up to "i-government". To quote from / The Economist, "The citizen-centered perspective is short-hand for the good point - so far largely ignored in e-government design- that setting up new electronic systems only to mimic the old offline ones is a bit of a waste of time"[February 16 2008].
The OASIS eGov Workshop will put the spotlight on the citizen and the taxpayer, focusing on their needs and exploring the technology that can deliver real solutions based on open standards.
PRIMETON WORKSHOP: HOW TO BUILD AN ENTERPRISE APPLICATION WITH COMPONENTS
Thursday, 1 May

EOS, flowchart is the executable. Attendees will learn how domain

GREEN BUILDINGS ROUNDTABLE
OASIS is hosting a "Round Table" session discussing challenges in Green Buildings, Building Controls, Intelligent Power Grid, and demand management (including current issues in California utility power control). We're concentrating on challenges, not solutions. This will be an informal panel, led by industry experts, exposing challenges and opportunities for people skilled at the things OASIS works on, such as eCommerce, SOA, and related technologies. We're calling it a "Round Table" because it's not the same as a traditional panel discussion; it will be more interactive, and there are no prepared slides (but will likely be information to take with you).
Panelists include William Cox (OASIS Technical Advisory Board), Moderator; Rik Drummond (The Drummond Group); Toby Considine (OBIX, University of North Carolina); and Girish Ghatikar (Lawrence Berkeley Labs)
Come join us at 7:30 PM on Monday, April 28 in the Monterey Room for a chance to apply your skills to some new and interesting problems.
