[SEM-GRD] Re: Semantic Grid workshop at GGF9
Hello,
I put in requests for a type 1 workshop (i.e. invited papers)
at GGF9 in Chicago, and a type 2 workshop (mini symposium) at
GGF11 in Hawaii. In both cases I've requested one day events.
Could you let me know please if you would like to present
your Semantic Grid work at GGF9 in Chicago in October?
I'll let you know when I hear back from the "GROC". In the
unlikely event that we don't get a workshop at GGF9 then we
will have the usual Semantic Grid sessions instead, so we
need to be planning presenations anyway. (I say "unlikely"
because this was agreed previously and it's in our charter,
but I can't really predict the decision of the GROC!)
BTW The forthcoming GGF dates are:
GGF9 (2003) October 5-8 in Chicago, IL USA
GGF10 (2004) March 7-10 in Frankfurt, Germany
GGF11 (2004) June 6-9 in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA
GGF12 (2004) early October, location under review
Thanks
-- Dave
