Colleagues, This is the official announcement of the next DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML) Program Principal Investigators (PI) meeting. It will be held at the South Seas Resort on Captiva Island, FL from Thursday through Saturday, 16-18 October, 2003. These dates were chosen to minimize the total travel "away" times for those attending the DAML PI meeting as well as the OntoWeb 5 meeting and/or the International Semantic Web Conference (ISWC). OntoWeb 5 and the ISWC are being held 17-18 October and 20-23 October, respectively on Sanibel Island. Sanibel Island is immediately adjacent to Captiva Island. There will be a joint DAML and OntoWeb meeting on the afternoon of Friday, 17 October at the OntoWeb meeting site (the Sundial Resort) on Sanibel Island. Please note that the South Seas Resort covers a large part of Captiva Island. Our guest rooms are about 1.5 miles from the conference meeting rooms; however, shuttle service between the guest rooms and meeting rooms will be provided. Also, shuttle service will be provided for DAML participants for the joint OntoWeb/DAML meeting. Attendance is open to the DAML, Rapid Knowledge Formation (RKF), and W3C communities, as well as to prospective government user organizations. Requests for other attendees should be addressed to Cola Atkinson (703-284-1313, catkinson@bbn.com), or me. Significant meeting goals are to assess program progress to date, lay out the strategy for bringing the DAML program to a successful conclusion, and help me come up with a structure and set of goals for a potential follow-on program to DAML. I will provide additional guidance on briefing preparation in another message. A web site providing additional information and on-line registration is available at the URL below. The site is password protected. Please do not distribute the password information outside the DAML, RKF and W3C communities unless approved by me. Username: daml2003 Password: damlflorida https://www.schafercorp-ballston.com/daml20032/ An agenda is being developed and as soon as it is available it will be posted on the site and a notification will be sent. Technology demonstrations will be conducted the evening of Thursday, 16 October. Demonstrations are encouraged, however, only new demonstrations and those demonstrations from the previous PI meeting which have shown significant progress should be presented. (That is, if your demo has not changed significantly from the last meeting, please do not demo it at this meeting.) Please contact Jack Howard with your requirements (number of tables, easels, internet connectivity, etc.) for your demonstration. A wireless LAN with internet connectivity will be available for the general sessions and for the demonstrations, however, each attendee should bring his/her own wireless LAN card (802.11b compatible). Please don't hesitate to contact Jack or myself if you have any questions or suggestions about the meeting. See you in October! Mark Dr. Mark Greaves DARPA IXO/JLTO 3701 N. Fairfax Drive Arlington, VA 22203 (703) 526-6623 (voice) (703) 522-8916 (fax)
