October 22-26, 2003
National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis
Santa Barbara, California

This meeting is a series of back-to-back working group meetings for the EcoGrid, Semantic Mediation, Knowledge Representation, and Analysis and Modeling subgroups of SEEK. The major goal of this meeting is for the subgroups to make technical advances in their respective topical areas.

Logistics and meeting venue: The meeting will be held at the Upham Hotel (1404 De La Vina St., 805-962-0058) in Santa Barbara, CA. The Upham hotel website contains information about the hotel accomadations and how to get there (see a map to the hotel). When you arrive at the airport, take the SuperRide shuttle downtown to the Upham, and be sure to tell tham that you are coming to NCEAS/UCSB as they will give you a discount. It is about 8 miles from the airport to the hotel.
