<div>Apologies for multiple postings</div><div><br></div><div>This is a reminder that the deadline for submitting Tutorial and</div><div>Workshop proposals for the the 11th International Protege Conference</div><div>is March 2, 2009. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The 11th International Protege Conference will be held June 23-26,</div><div>2009 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. </div><div><br></div><div>We invite proposals for workshops, to be held on the first day of the</div>
<div>conference, June 23, 2009. We expect workshops will be half-day</div><div>events. The purpose of the workshops are to provide an informal</div><div>setting for participants to discuss technical issues and to exchange</div>
<div>research ideas. We expect that most of the workshops will be</div><div>interactive events, centering on discussions rather than</div><div>presentations. We strongly advise having more than one organizer,</div><div>bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. We also</div>
<div>encourage submitters to contact us before the deadline if there is any</div><div>concern about overlap with other similar workshop topics. Workshop</div><div>attendees must pay the conference registration fee.</div><div>
