workshop Agenda

The workshop will begin with a plenary discussion of the major issues raised in previously submitted position statements. The discussion will be introduced by a member of the organising group presenting an overview of the interests and concerns expressed in the position statements. This will be followed by breakout groups themed by the organising committee on the basis of papers received. Prior to the workshop, and based on the overview, a number of topics for breakout groups will be proposed together with proposed membership. The relevance of this grouping will be confirmed or amended by the plenary discussion.

The breakout groups will report to a plenary session where the rapporteurs will summarise the discussion and present the prioritised research agenda for the topic addressed by their group.  An integrated agenda for research will be developed through discussion.

The final plenary session of the workshop will discuss the practicalities of putting the research agenda into action. This will include setting up a network for future communication and collaboration. Possibilities for collaboration through FP7, an ACM Special Interest Group or other funding streams will be examined.
