Together" (October 28-November 2, 2005, Charlotte, North Carolina).

Panel topics should be of interest to a broad cross-section of the

Knowledge management
Technologies for building and managing DLs
Open source software programs for DLs
Integration and interoperability


Please contact us if you are interested in participating as a panelist
or if you would like to organize a panel. Also please let us know if
there are other topics that you would like to be discussed, that were
not covered in the list above.

Proposals should be in the form of a short paper (approximately two
pages, no smaller than 10-pt. font), providing an overview of the
issues, projects, or viewpoints to be discussed by the panel.
Submissions must include title, sponsor(s), and names and affiliations
of all participants (moderator, speakers, reactors, etc.). A mix of
industry and academic panel members is encouraged. For more information,
