                    themes to covered by this workshop. Since no one individual may feel comfortable covering such a wide

                    range of topics,possibly steering committee members could consult with this speaker and suggest

                    material to be included in this talk.

                    architectures or related mathematics.

At this time we will have about 20 to 25 five-minute presentations by some of the attendees. We will organize these short presentations into four or five groups, each group having about five presentations. Each group will have a common theme, such as fabrics, or architectures. One can think of the speakers in each group as being panelist. Their presentations will be primarily focused on their own research, including: (slide 1) who they are - who are their colleagues and -where are they from; (slide 2) what are the main issues that they are addressing, why are these important and why is their work unorthodox; (slide 3) what are the main technical issues they have solved to date and are currently trying to solve; (slide 4) what important breakthroughs are needed in their or other domains that will aid in the success of their work; (slide 5) 2 key references related to their work and 2 reference related to the general field they are addressing. (We hope to have these short presentations available about one week prior to the workshop so they can be distributed and attendees will have a chance to familiarize themselves with some of this material.)
