Dear all,

i've now put up what i hope is the final version (of this current generation) of the
AIF document with some very minor fixes + also adding Matt South as an
editor since he has been pushing things along.

here is the URL as before: http://www.x-opennet.org/aif/

hopefully its also more prominent on the main page. Note that other content
on x-opennet.org may be removed soon to clean it up but this page will
stay accessible!

 thanks for everybody's work!!
 I hope we'll be able to pick it up again in the near future.

 steve.

If anybody spots any more bugs please let me know!

Dear All,

Thanks to everyone for working together on this, and especially to
Steve, Gerard, and Matthew. It was definitely a great fun to meet in
Budapest and discuss and work on this.

In order to improve dissemination and develop things further, I was
wondering if you would like to submit this to ArgMAS!

http://homepages.inf.ed.ac.uk/irahwan/argmas/argmas06/

The workshop will be held along side AAMAS next year, and given the
number of contributors, we are bound to have at least someone go to
AAMAS to present it! Let me know what you think.

Cheers,
Iyad

Hi Iyad,
Right now I´m in Chile for a few days in a meeting and probably won´t
be able to follow the discussion. So, I´m giving you my input.
I´d like the idea very much. It´s a good forum for the proposal to be discussed.
Best regards,
Guillermo

Hi all,

i think its a good idea - in what form do you think it would be best submitted Iyad?  Its probably too long at the moment and would need some context before it could go in...

Hi all,

I also agree with Steve and Guillermo... seems a very interesting idea.
As Steve points out, a particular context should be given.

Lenght seems not to be a problem so far; we have a
6000 word document (AIF v.8), and the limit is 5000 words.

Cheers,

Carlos

Hi Steve,

I'm not sure what you mean by "context" here. I was thinking that we can
simply convert the current draft to a paper, with an abstract, intro
etc. We should stress that this is an evolving model, and not yet complete.

Cheers,
Iyad

Hi Iyad,

that certainly sounds doable. I guess by context I ment explaining to the reader what the thing was about and how it came into being. I guess the document does that to an extent but it's not very explicit.

You're right though that if we put a clearer abstract on and cut it to fit the page limit it should be enough. Hopefully it would provide some good discussion material for the workshop.

 steve.

Excellent.

I'm happy to produce a draft if you send me the source files. I'm also
happy for you or anyone else to do it.

cheers,
Iyad

Hello,

if its primarily adding some short intro text then i can take a
first stab at it and then bounce it off the list for comment.

Do you think we should shorten for the submission or send it in
as-is and then chop it down if accepted?

many thanks,
steve.

Ok

If it´s not much work it´d be best to have a finalized document.
Otherwise the referees won´t have a clear idea of what the content would be.

Best,
Guillermo
