This presentation gives an overview of the International Components for
Unicode (ICU) libraries, which provide a wide variety of
Internationalization functions in C/C++ and Java.  They support basic
Unicode string and character handling, codepage conversion and
normalization, as well as higher-level services like collation,
formatting and regular expressions.  The presentation also discusses the
latest version of the Unicode Standard, version 4.

Markus Scherer is a software engineer at IBM developing ICU and other
Unicode/Globalization solutions.  He has contributed to many parts of
ICU including character conversion, bidi, normalization, Unicode
properties and collation and is currently the technical team leader of
ICU4C.  After graduating from the University of Kaiserslautern, Germany,
in computer science he worked on projects for wireless and mobile
computing with IBM.  A strong interest in languages brought him into the
Internationalization parts of the projects, followed by his current
focus on Unicode and Globalization.
