Second Annual XML Symposium Delivers Insight into the Future of the HVAC Industry
Now in its second year, the XML Symposium communicated to more than 100 HVAC professionals the significant potential the industry faces now that such enabling technologies as XML and Web services are providing a standard path to true whole building integration. Held in conjunction with the AHR Expo on February 9, 2005, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, the XML Symposium was co-hosted by CABA (Continental Automated Buildings Association) and Clasma, Inc., a specialized event and marketing firm for the building systems industry.
Targeted specifically at the HVAC industry, the XML Symposium is a high-level introduction to XML and Web services. These technologies are considered by many to be the most promising enablers for the future of integrated and intelligent buildings as these technologies are widely used by the IT community and many other industry groups who desire to leverage the Internet as a connectivity and automation vehicle.
