Colleagues, This is the official announcement of the next DARPA Agent Markup Language (DAML) Program Principal Investigators (PI) meeting, ratifying the dates proposed in Jack Howard's email of 6/7/04. The meeting will be held at the Hilton Palacio del Rio in San Antonio, Texas on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday (until noon) 30 November - 2 December, 2004. There will be no Semantic Web Services Initiative (SWSI) Face-to-Face (F2F) meeting associated with this PI Meeting. Attendance is open to the DAML and W3C communities, as well as to government user organizations. Requests for other attendees should be addressed to Cola Atkinson (703-284-1313, catkinson@bbn.com), Jack Howard (703-516-6021, jhoward@snap.org) or me. Significant meeting goals are to review program and performer FY04 progress, and assess the strategy for bringing the DAML program to a successful conclusion. I will provide additional guidance on agenda and briefing preparation in another message. I expect all DAML performers in FY04 to reserve sufficient FY04 funds to attend this meeting and outbrief your progress. As I said at May's PI meeting, because of the planned tail-off of the overall DAML program budget, only selected performers will receive FY05 funding. I am starting to make those decisions now. 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 and W3C communities unless approved by me. https://www.schafertmd.com/daml20042 Username: daml20042 Password: tx302 Technology demonstrations will be conducted the evening of Tuesday, 30 November. As always 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.) Also, unless your demonstration is completely in OWL, don't expect to present it and don't bother asking for a waiver. 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 note that the meeting rooms are located across from the street from the hotel in "The Pavilion", but lunches will be served in the hotel. Continental breakfasts and breaks will be served in The Pavilion. Please don't hesitate to contact Jack or myself if you have any questions or suggestions about the meeting. See you there!
