A Note About Workshop Format
The idea of this workshop is to generate as much spontaneous
discussion as possible. With that end in view, we're asking everyone
to condense their material into a 5-7 minute presentation. This is
very short, we know, so our advice is to go for the sharp angle, the
big picture, or the potential further research questions attendant
upon your current research. Please try to read all the discussion
papers at least for your session in advance. We're hoping
this is the best way to make use of the diverse expertise available.
