Re: ISWC06 Call for Papers

From Wear-Hard Mailing list Archive (WH) Maintained by R. Paul McCarty

I was wrong.  after thinking about it for a bit i realized the work load, 
then i check other conventions submission deadline times and they were 
more stringent, like siggraph.

So i appologize for my prior comments, and hope the best for iswc06.
