GSE UK Conference 2008

"Be Recognized"

Abstract:

The IMS Working Group hopes you will enjoy this year's GSE UK Conference. We welcome you to the IMS stream and hope you will find the sessions interesting, informative and useful.

This session incorporates the regular IBM "What's New", bringing you information about recent product announcements, forthcoming events and new and updated publications, websites and presentations from the world of IMS, as well as the latest news from various independent software vendors on their IMS-related products.

This is also the time to present your own news if there's anything that may be of interest to the other delegates, such as:

• an APAR that's affected your system, or which you've spotted
• an upcoming conference you know about which hasn't been mentioned
• something unexpected you've discovered about IMS
• a useful piece of code you've developed and are willing to share

You can also register for the IMS Mastery Certification tests. If anyone registers to take one or more papers then the tests will be held from 19:00.
