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.

>> ebXML and Semantic Grid
>> All stakeholders in the Semantic Grid need to be able to publish and
>> discover re-sources, exposed as web or Grid services. Agents

>> and also to pull the services to-gether into a workflow. An example of
>> this would be  the semantically enriched web services planned for the
>> ARTEMIS project, which provides interoperability of medical information
>> systems [1]. In the worst case, service enablement would require a
>> coor-dinating agent to employ the ontologies of many different domains
>> declared using a differing formats (RDF, KIF, OWL, Topic Map). The worst
>> case scenario combined with the dynamic nature of the Grid, (e.g.
>> providers changing characteristics of service offering at will), agents

>> Federated ebXML knowledge management and SOA policy management offers an

>> state resolution. An “e-contract” employing terms of workflow can be
>> structured using Collaboration Protocol Profiles (CPPs) and
