Dear participants at the First Annual APPSEM Workshop in Pisa,

During the workshop there will be

- a "brainstorming session" on Tuesday the 15th at 4 pm and

- a "business meeting" on Wednesday the 16th at 4 pm.

Brainstorming session
---------------------
The intention behind the brainstorming session is to complement
the formal talks with some informal discussion. We would among other things 
like to see if we can identify synergies between the different topics 
(and perhaps as a consequence propose specialized workshops at the 
intersection between two different topics).  It is also an occasion 
to assess what has been said in the topic sessions (are we on track, 
do we need to revise our plans?) and to bring up interesting new
research problems.

This is your chance to present crazy ideas. Be inflammatory and
generate discussion! John Hughes and I will collect offers of (5 minute)
contributions during the workshop. (Or now!)

Business meeting
----------------
This will provide an opportunity to plan next year's APPSEM activities.
In particular we should decide where to hold the next general APPSEM
meetings and what small specialized workshop which should be held.

Please let me know in advance if you want to bring up other issues
to be discussed during the business meeting!

The business meeting is open to all participants at the workshop.
