If you’re interested to talk to us about our work, you can meet us at AGILE 2008 in Girona, Spain (May 5-8), where Krzyzstof will present our latest paper. Or, in case you’re also going to Google I/O in San Francisco (May 28-29) and are interested in a chat over a drink, let me know.

We are happy to announce the release of the next beta version (2.2) of our SimCat similarity server and Protege plug-in! The new release contains several bug fixes and a context logger. The next release will focus on performance issues.

A warm welcome to our new SimCat team member Marius!

We have an open position for a Java savvy student here at SimCat. If this interesting for you, have a look at the job advertisement (in German). You should live in Münster if you want to join our project, though.
