[ecoop-info] [open-l] CFP: Workshop on Ontology-Driven Software Engineering at SPLASH/OOPSLA 2010

[john s wolter]

Thank you for the ODSE heads-up as I have not had track of this subject.
The item this last year I have been looking into is rewrite of Agile ideas.
It is years old and it may be time for a bit of a rewrite.

Could you provide some links to background information for ODSE.  Thank you
for your kind help.

Cheers
