Kurt / Leo, (01)
Guess you might have received this message from Craig Schlenoff too. (02)
I would like to collaborate with both of you to do a paper for this
conference, and take the opportunity to present [ontolog-forum] and
its work to the AAAI community. (03)
Please advise/confirm if you would entertain the idea ... and if so,
we'll have to get moving. Submission deadline (for full paper or
statement-of-interest/outline) is 2003-10-03. (04)
Regards,
PPY
