Dear Semantic Web Colleagues,
As part of the upcoming Twentieth National Conference on Artificial
Intelligence (AAAI-05), AAAI is pleased to announce the first AI
Sister Conference Highlights Program, which will have representatives
from 13 major AI conferences summarizing the highlights and hotspots
of their communities. For a complete list, please see

You'll note that ISWC2004 has been asked to overview our conference.
As the early registration deadline approaches (this Friday, May 13),
We wanted to draw your attention to several conference details. A
preliminary copy of the conference schedule at a glance can be found
at http://www.aaai.org/Conferences/National/2005/aaai05.html. In
addition, the list of 229 accepted AAAI papers is at

the IAAI-05 list of deployed and emerging applications is at
