AGENDA FOR BREAKOUT WORK GROUPS - SESSION I<br />
Monday, December 1, 1997<br />
The objective <strong>of</strong> Session I is for each <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> five IOF-WV industry sectors to develop descriptions<br />
<strong>of</strong> four to six high priority R&D project topics and corresponding R&D teams. Each recommended<br />
R&D project should be judged to be <strong>of</strong> real value for enhanced productivity <strong>of</strong> IOF-WV companies.<br />
Some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> recommended topics should fall within <strong>the</strong> scope <strong>of</strong> existing DOE/OIT/IOF industry visions<br />
and technology roadmaps. The results <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> breakout groups will be reported during <strong>the</strong> 9:00 panel<br />
session on Tuesday morning, December 2.<br />

waste material, use <strong>of</strong> new technologies, better inventory and management systems, etc.<br />
2:30 to 3:00 Determine <strong>the</strong> four to six top priority projects to benefit WV industry. Briefly describe<br />
