The Program Chairs and members of the 2015 Scientific
Program Committee wish to thank all members, past attendees,
and others who submitted session proposals for this year's
meeting. All were given serious consideration, and many were
included, whole or in part, in the final program. In part, as a
result of these proposals, many new speakers will be featured
in this year's meeting. A call for proposals for 2016 will go
out in October.
