Dear All, So far it looks like we have several submissions that have either been promised or so far received. I am not sure if this should be viewed as a little or a lot at this point, since the deadline is still next week (January 17), and typically things are done at the last minute. But I would have liked to have seen more by now. I would urge all of you to submit an abstract. Since we all have an interest in Grid reliability, the workshop will provide the basis for a good, informal session in which we can exchange ideas and have stimulating discussions. Sincerely, Chris Dabrowski
All,
Good news -- the workshop request has been approved, as per the approval notice below. Its scheduled for Monday, February 13, 2006 from 1.30 PM onwards.
I attach the call statement (and a copy of the original application material for reference purposes).
The next task is the advertisement of the workshop through available channels. I will update the web page to reflect this and forward the workshop notice through NIST channels, and if you have means available to you, could you do the same?
One thing that occurs to me -- with this approval, there is less than one month left for advertisement and submission. The deadline is January 10. Is it reasonable to delay the deadline to January 17 to provide some extra time for circulation of the information? Or is that too tight for purposes of turnaround before the workshop? (Or maybe we can extend if necessary?)
Sincerely, Chris
