There are two SWS groups that I have some ties with:
(1) WSDL-S and (2) OWL-S

(1) I have spoken with recently and invited, Rama
Akkiraju (IBM Research Watson) as well as Amit Sheth (University of Georgia),
to talk about WSDL-S.  I have asked them to agree on some tag-team
or solo effort (as they wish).  They both plan to be on the call.
 

As an FYI, WSDL-S is being submitted to the W3C and
their basic 'thesis' is to take a pragmatic approach to adding semantics
to Web services.  Especially, by trying to reuse current industry
de-facto standards, e.g., WSDL.

(2) I was planning on contacting David Martin (SRI)
and Katia Sycara (CMU) to see if they would talk about OWL-S.  I know
both from workshops at previous AAMAS and AAMAS Web services workshops.
 

I realize that the OWL-S community has other active
members so I wanted to check with the other co-organizers to see if they
have suggestions or planned to invite other OWL-S parties.  Please
let me know ASAP, otherwise I will forward my invitation (on behalf of
the forum and organizers) to David and Katia.

That's all for now.  Take care,
