CWG Meeting November 2001 in Miami Beach

In autumn 2001 the Configuration Work Group met in Miami Beach. Besides the regular updates from SAP and the CWG Focus Groups, a range of customers gave an introduction of their projects on product configuration. Some presentations, e. g. on potential XML representations for the knowledge base of a configurable product, an overview on the configurator market, and an introduction to the e-Selling solutions of SAP completed the general assembly of the CWG at the first meeting day.

The CWG Dinner - sponsored by the Technology Solutions Company, TSC - offered a great opportunity to discuss different topics in a more relaxed atmosphere. As often the CWG Dinner has been an ideal place for creative thoughts and to start new CWG initiatives.

As usual the second day was used to go into details within the three CWG Focus Groups.
