Thanks Aidan This looks really interesting. I am absolutely staggered
at its cost, for a one day meeting though. Given that FAST appear to
be cosponsors of the meeting, perhaps you might have a comment
on the observation that demonstration of cost-effectiveness is one of
the basic barriers to implementing the new technologies!!!!
