Introduction

Dear ws-architects,
 I am Katia Sycara, faculty at the School of Computer Science at Carnegie
Mellon University. I am joining the W3C-ws-architecture group as an invited
expert. I agree to [1] and [2]. I am not aware of an IPR relevant to the
ws-architecture working group as per [3].
 I will function as the liaison/representative to the ws-architecture group
of the DAML-S coalition, a committee tasked with creating the DAML services
ontology in the context of the Darpa Agent Markup Language (DAML) program.
 I am very excited about my participation and will do my best to contribute
productively to the group's work.
          Cheers,
          Katia Sycara
