Folks,
Several potential attendees have indicated that it would be inconvenient for them if the Joint Design Session were moved from October 12-14 to October 28-29. Therefore, the session will be held, as originally scheduled, on October 12-14.
Please email me privately if you intend to submit a paper and/or attend. Also indicate if you would like to stay at the hotel on campus. This will allow me to reserve a block of rooms.
