Call for Talks

Talks of 20-30 minutes about one of the following topics are invited (we are still looking for speakers!): If you want to give a talk then please send an e-mail to the organizers.

Registration

Participation is free and lunch/dinner are included. After the workshop there will be a workshop dinner at a restaurant (place: TBA).

It would be easier for us to make the necessary arrangements for lunch and dinner if we knew of your plans early. So we would appreciate it if you let us know as soon as possible whether you plan to attend, by sending an e-mail to langer@cs.rwth-aachen.de. Please indicate whether you participate in the dinner, and if so whether you have special dietary requirements.
