Logistics

Please plan to arrive on Sunday August 19th, and leave on Saturday, August 25th. In the Monday morning problem session, all participants are encouraged to bring one or more open problems. Since the backgrounds of the participants are diverse, the open problems should come with the relevant details/literature/background. If we are not finished by lunch time, then we will continue in the afternoon.

For the remainder of the week the participants will try to solve the open problems. Each morning, there will be a workshop session. The idea of this is to get the other participants interested in an active area of research with lots of open questions.
