Software Product Engineering Conference (SPEC) is Rave's annual event providing a platform for various organisations to address ever evolving technology challenges in a fast changing landscape. This year, the theme of the conference is 'Disruptive Technology Trends in STM Publishing. Digital publishing, Cloud deployment, Data Analytics, DRM or not to DRM, Responsive design, Big Data and NoSQL databases, are just some of the technology themes that STM Publishers are having to address. To add to these challenges, there are macro market developments in publishing and distribution that could impact STM Publishing. Amazon's Kindle Unlimited for example, could change the way books are consumed and possibly change library models. Rave's event will discuss which emerging and disruptive technologies various publishers are observing and how they are harnessing them.
