The purpose of the first SPECIAL II workshop is
to sketch a larger scientific program and to
determine an action plan for the future
by having an extended poster session with
appropriate discussions, stimulated by
some background review lectures.
The first day is intended to determine the
required parts for a larger scientific project,
and the second day is devoted to the identification
of the various scientific elements. The third day is to
determine representatives of scientific elements
and to name delivarables, while the last day is to
sketch a time line for project preparation.
