Scientific programme<br />
As usual, the workshop aims to be <strong>in</strong>formal <strong>and</strong> to stimulate as much discussion as possible<br />
among participants. As <strong>in</strong> past workshops, we will comb<strong>in</strong>e plenary scientific sessions with oral <strong>and</strong><br />
poster presentations, concurrent round-table discussions, <strong>and</strong> a f<strong>in</strong>al plenary session (reports on<br />
round-table discussions, directions for the future, etc.). Session chairs will briefly <strong>in</strong>troduce each<br />
poster associated with the theme of their oral session presentations. We would also like to<br />
organise some keynote themes presented by <strong>in</strong>vited speakers. This will be followed by an<br />
extensive discussion last<strong>in</strong>g 30-45 m<strong>in</strong>. You are welcome to suggest relevant speakers <strong>and</strong><br />
