The Silicon Valley World Internet Center is conducting a Think Tank Session on May 25, 2004, to understand the issues and principles involved in adapting and engineering enterprise-level software products for different cultures. This invitation-only session will focus on considerations for cross-cultural adaptation of software to Asian markets. The specific focus will be on enterprise-level software solutions including Employee Self Service applications (ESS), payroll, timesheets, and other human resource functions. This session is being sponsored by SAP Research.

The objectives of this session are:

• to understand important aspects of interface design for Asian markets, identify any pre-existing design guidelines, and determine hot research areas
• to identify the level of commitment among other large producers of technology solutions to cross-cultural adaptation; and
• to identify and discuss current best case examples of successful cross-cultural adaptation of enterprise-level software.

This is an invitation-only Think Tank Session limited to 20 participants. If you are an expert in the cross-cultural adaptation of enterprise-level software (including user-interface) and would like to be considered for participation in this 4-hour, afternoon session on May 25, please submit your name, title, company affiliation, and bio for consideration to:
