Dear all,

After the success of this year's ExaCt workshop in Pasadena, California, we will submit a proposal for next year's workshop to ECAI 2010 [1]. The next ECAI conference will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, 16–20 August 2010. So mark your calendar already for another great workshop and start writing papers.

For all of you who could not come to Pasadena, missing out on great talks and great weather, we will collect the slides on the workshop website [2]. There are also some photos.

At last year's workshop in Patras we came up with the idea of a manifesto on explanation-aware computing. I worked out an initial version and informed you about it back in January. In Pasadena we briefly touched the topic and decided to further discuss the manifesto here on the list. Please, have a look at it and voice your opinion. Could and would you subscribe to its content?

Cheers, trb
