of the lack of funding).

November. She is French, has worked in the Internet since 1993, at the

the CARIBCAD project in all the technical aspects related to Work Flow Management, and groupware, will develop required Java applications and will insure technological watch on relevant matters. We may become mutually interested to extend the assignment.
