So what I should do now, I guess, is contact the Morpheus team and convince them to come. maybe submit something if they feel like it.
I need to add another comment. I don't know if you speak for the P.E.T. Workshop or not, Dave, but the mistake with this and similar recent conferences is to think that you can just issue a "cattle call" for papers and have interesting papers come in. The challenge when launching a new conference, as in Information Hiding, Financial Cryptography, this one, is to do more than just issue cattle calls. Sadly, too many of these b.s. conferences take the easy way out and just do the cattle call, hoping that some droids at Philips or Siemens or Intel will write up something vaguely related to the ostensible theme of the conference. The frosting on the cake will be when Esther Dyson is invited to give the keynote speech. --Tim May
