We are being added to the program as a group. However, the organizers are asking that we presenters each register on their website as soon as possible at www.lisa.org/events/2005cairo/sp_registration.html [site now offline]

... and also to give a short indication of the title and subject matter of our presentations at www.lisa.org/events/2005cairo/speakerform.html [site now offline]
