Re: SUO: Workshop at IJCAI?
Mike,
I like the latter notion you mention of requiring papers. I'd further
like to require that any papers be consistent with any agreements reached
on the SUO and that they include formal content in SUO-KIF. This could
have the effect of ensuring that the papers and discussion would be very
focused. Often, workshops spend most of their time agreeing on terminology
and goals, leaving little time for specific and useful conclusions. We
could avoid that completely.
