Hi --
Unfortunately I cannot attend the workshop, but you and your colleagues may
be interested in the following papers and online Wiki-like system for
executable English (and other languages).
As you know, English text (like this sentence) is normally something for a
person to read, but it cannot be used as a program that you can run on a
computer.
On the other hand, executable English is something that a person can read,
and that you can also run on a computer.
As befits a Wiki, shared use of the system is free. Just point a browser to
www.reengineeringllc.com .
Since the executable knowledge is in English, Google indexes and retrieves
it, acting as a kind of registry.
Apologies if you have seen this before, and thanks for comments.
