1. AAT at www.aatideas.org, AAT Programs for ICAS Term Set Localization

Alliance for the Advancement of Technology (AAT) recently issued
Integrated Chronological Applications System (ICAS) version 6.04.
AAT ICAS is modelled on metric methodologies of usability, and the
AAT is presently studying certain uses of ICAS calendar and clock
systems. ICAS features are exploring a variety of practical and
theoretical approaches to usability challenges. Information about
AAT ICAS standards and methodologies may be found at
http://www.aatideas.org/itinica in both HTML and PDF formats.

AAT ICAS term sets are localized for use by the AAT and also for
use by ICAS licensees consistent with the ICAS version in effect.
ICAS is developed in English by the AAT with some consideration
for issues of translation to other languages. At this time the AAT
does not provide support for other languages, however is tracking
demand for language support.

Based on program response, the AAT has determined a demand
for ICAS language support in French, German, Dutch, Spanish,
Portuguese, Italian, Greek, Russian, Laotian, Chinese,
and Japanese.

The AAT seeks to hear from those interested in sponsoring or
developing additional language support for the AAT, or for becoming
a AAT partner in areas of technology programming for languages
other than English.
