WS-Discovery itself is probably not in the scope of the workshop but the 
group communication requirements of WS-Discovery certainly are. If you 
could focus the presentation on what is needed or expected from the 
group communication to implement WS-Discovery, then that would be fully 
in the scope of the workshop. I understand  that a short introduction to 
WS-Discovery might be needed to explain the requirements but the focus 
should remain on the group communication (and probably multicast SOAP 
over UDP).

Let me know what do you think,
