Program for the Fall 2006 ASIDIC Meeting Now Available

The program for the Fall 2006 ASIDIC meeting, September 10-12 at the
Marriott Resort Hotel and European Spa in Newport Beach, CA, is now
available on ASIDIC's Web site, http://www.asidic.org.  You are cordially
invited to attend this meeting.  Ezra Ernst, CEO, Swets North America, has
agreed to deliver the opening keynote address, and Tony Phillip, CEO of
UpSnap, the leading content delivery technology for mobile devices, will
keynote the Tuesday sessions.

The theme of the Fall meeting is Getting the Most From Your Most Valuable
Resource: Content.  A new world of content delivery has emerged without
warning. As the wave of digitally available content continues to increase at
an exponential rate, the lines continue to blur between authors and
publishers, aggregators and distributors, and technology and content.  The
Internet business model that was once about traffic and eyeballs is now
about content. Sooner than we think, Internet content providers will deliver
the same premium content that was once reserved to the traditional online
information providers. Small content players can become big players
overnight, so traditional content producers need to get on the train or they
will either be left behind or be run over. The risk of losing market share
to obscurity and irrelevance is greater than once held fears of cannibalism
or piracy.

At the ASIDIC Fall meeting we will hear from the new generation of content
providers changing the face of information right now, as well as from some
of the traditional players who recognize the need to catch up to the
Internet world.

A golf event has been organized, and an exciting Monday evening event will
be held at Joe's Garage and Automotive Museum.  To register, visit the
