Subject: Re: [regrep] [Fwd: SemPGRID04: Call for Paper (DATE CORRECTIONS!)]
Sorry - I think the recently introduced set of New York NY regulations designed to improve quality of life prohibit BYOS. Fortunately the submission has already been reviewed for acceptance - we are not sure (yet) which one of us will actually present the paper. <quote who="Chiusano Joseph"> > The conference is next week, and the submissions were due some time ago. > Or is this a "BYOS" (Bring Your Own Submission) type of event? > > Joe > > Carl Mattocks wrote: >> >> Matthew Dovey or I are hoping we will have the opportunity to present a >> position paper based on the text below .. >> >> Enabling Semantic Grid Computing with ebXML >> Matthew J.
