Below is our tentative program for the AAAI-98 workshop in Knowledge
Sharing Across Biological and Medical Knowledge 
Based Systems.  I am posting this program because we still have several
openings for anyone who may be interested in 
participating in the workshop but not in doing one of the
presentations.   One of our primary goals is to provide a broad base for 
discussion and interchange of ideas, and we would like to encourage
anyone with such an interest to register for the workshop.  
Since participation is by invitation only and requires pre-registration,
I need to submit the list of invitees to AAAI by April 1.  If 
you would like to participate in this workshop, please send me email
expressing your interest (and perhaps a bit of background 
about yourself) by April 1.  The information we need for invitees
includes:  email address, surface mail address, phone number, 
and fax number.  Information about the conference may be found at
http://www.aaai.org/Conferences/National/1998/aaai98.html.
