SIKS-day 2004, March 12 in Zeist

contact
On March 12, the School for Information and Knowledge Systems organizes its annual SIKS-day. The location will be the Castle of Zeist ("Slot Zeist"). The main aim of the event is to give SIKS-members -participating in research groups all over the country- the opportunity to meet each other in an informal setting and to inform them about current developments and some new activities and plans for the coming year. This year a small scientific symposium will be organized at the SIKS-day, as well.
Four guest speakers have agreed to participate:
