[AISWorld] Call for presentation proposals for No Magic World Conference 2011

[Kappelman, Leon]

Event is in Dallas, Sept. 25-28, 2011.  Last year's event was very good and the venue very nice.  The call below is for speakers - They would like to have more speakers from academia this year

Conference covers enterprise architecture and lots of related topics like systems analysis, modeling, simulation, standards, IP issues, and much more.  John Zachman and Richard Soley are already on tap to present this year, along with what will probably be another great line up.  For additional information, the conference site is http://www.umlconference.com/dfw/index.aspx.  I have nothing to do with the program other than I get to be a speaker/panelist; so, contact Ray Hertz @ NoMagic as per the call if you want to submit a proposal or have any questions.

Best wishes,
Leon
