Subject: Re: [regrep] CFP for Workshop on Semantic Web Enabled Software Engineering
Evan, Great news and fabulous initiative - kudos to NIST for facilitating this. I like the joint paper we did here with Professor Asuman Dogac. That would be a definate submission (subject to approval on rights, et al) - and then possibly some other joint papers - I'd be interested in collaborating on further topics relating to our OASIS work here. My sense here is that joint work would serve better than individual items, as I suspect there will be a large number of entries.
