IRVING, TEXAS —January 17, 2005— The OASIS Open Building Information Exchange (oBIX) Technical Committee will host a one-day educational track dedicated to the standardized use of XML and Web services in buildings at BuilConn 2005, the integrated and intelligent building community’s event being held in Dallas, Texas, March 21-24, 2005, at the Adam’s Mark Hotel Dallas.
The, ‘oBIX@BuilConn’ track will feature status updates on the XML and web Services-based standards initiative targeted at providing the link between buildings and the Enterprise. Members of the OASIS oBIX Technical Committee will also provide information on initial implementations of oBIX and conduct in-depth discussions about the application of oBIX in the buildings and facility systems of tomorrow.
“The oBIX@BuilConn session will be thorough in communicating the significant progress the organization has made throughout the past year in developing a standard the industry can embrace,” Toby Considine, chair of the OASIS oBIX Technical Committee, said. “oBIX@BuilConn will also explore the relationships oBIX has developed with other industry organizations and demonstrate oBIX connectivity capabilities.”
“The subject of XML and Web Services is a critical one for the development of truly integrated and intelligent buildings, and this organization is a natural complement to the education offered at BuilConn,” Anto Budiardjo, BuilConn organizer, said. “Because BuilConn was the birthplace of oBIX two years ago at our inaugural event, it is with great pleasure that we host the continuing evolution of oBIX and help OASIS communicate its activities to the buildings community.”

About oBIX
The oBIX Technical Committee is a focused effort by industry leaders and associations working toward creating a standard XML and Web Services guideline to facilitate the exchange of information between intelligent buildings, enable enterprise application integration and bring forth true systems integration. Based on standards widely used by the IT Industry, the oBIX guideline will improve operational effectiveness giving facility managers and building owners increased knowledge and control of their properties. Comprised of representatives from the entire spectrum of the buildings systems industry, the OASIS oBIX Committee includes professionals from the security, HVAC, building automation, open protocol and IT disciplines. Participation in the OASIS oBIX Technical Committee remains open to all organizations and individuals. OASIS also offers a mechanism for public comment on the work. The Technical Committee works to prioritize oBIX development based on input from the community and particularly seeks use scenarios from those managing systems for large office buildings, universities, hospitals, etc. See www.oasis-open.org/committees/obix/ for details.
About BuilConn
BuilConn is a four-day forum uniting integrators, manufacturers, distributors, consultants and technologists from the disparate disciplines of the building systems industry to learn and discuss the trends, technologies and their applications for tomorrow’s “intelligent” buildings. From Access Control and HVAC to Lighting, CCTV and IT, BuilConn is the only network infrastructure and integration event focusing on bridging the gaps between these sectors to deliver true Networked Building Systems.
The third annual event will be held in Dallas, Texas, March 21-24, 2005, at the Adam’s Mark Hotel Dallas. For further information, please visit www.builconn.com.
