Fellow Warwick Workers,
The following is an outline for the top level description piece for
Workshop. I'd love to have feedback about it before I get too deep.
For those who gave presentations about implementations (sections III
and IV), it would be great if you could give me a paragraph or two of
synopsis.
Please note the outline does not reference the main plenary talks. It
struck me that this should be a narrative about where we are rather
than how we got there, but I also see these important pieces as an
integral component of the discussion. Suggestions welcome.
More to come soon.
