Technical Session Tracks

Conference sessions will be organized into five general subject area tracks that will run concurrently:

• The Database Applications and Tools track will cover such topics as application development tools and methodologies, application and database architecture, and maximizing application and SQL performance.
   
• The Informix Administration and Performance track will feature sessions on topics including database and data warehouse design and administration, performance tuning, backup and restore, and security.
   
• The Informix Edge track will contain talks on aspects of Informix that provide a distinct edge in application development and processing such as emerging technologies like XML and Web services, operation in cross-platform and heterogeneous environments, and support for Open Source and third-party tools.
   
• The Advanced Support Topics track will feature studies and advanced sessions on support topics, many taken from real-life development and support scenarios.
   
• The Informix Encore track will include introductory sessions of both basic concepts and recently added functionality, as well as repeats of selected sessions initially presented earlier in the conference. Whether you are new to Informix, want to explore fundamental concepts, or want to take a first look at new features, you should check out this track.
