through informal and intensive discussion among participants about given
topics.

Time frame of the working group will consists of 2 parts: the 1st 90 minutes
for kick-off presentations, and (after break) the 2nd 90 minutes for open
discussion including all participants.

Already a few kick-off speakers for each session were selected in the PC
meeting. Furthermore, we welcome some more speakers come up front to give
opening talks for the discussion.

Please select your favorite topic in your registration form and submit your
position statement. The session chairs will review your position papers and
consider the discussion agenda.
