ESSW2002 - workshop on models/approaches for web services

Folks - 

I wanted to remind everyone that the deadline for submissions to the
workshop on E-services and the Semantic Web
(http://db.bell-labs.com/essw2002) is March 22, this Friday.

The basic questions of the workshop are:

   Are the tools being developed in the semantic web community 
   actually going to be useful for e-services?  

   What is the right model of e-services against which formal tools
   and automated reasoning should be brought to bear?

This seems especially relevant to the activities of the W3C group
on Web Services architecture!

The workshop includes two invited talks, by Gerhard Weikum and Ian
Horrocks, to help set the stage for the discussion.  Also, the workshop
PC brings together members of both the AI and database/workflow 
communities, to encourage a healthy mix of papers and particpants.

The workshop May31/June 1, in Toronto, in connection with the CAiSE
conference.  

Please note that following the tradition of many AI workshops, there
are no archival proceedings, and so you can submit a paper to the
workshop that you are submitting elsewhere for formal publication.
Also, position papers are welcomed.

Thanks
Rick Hull
PC co-chair of ESSW2002
