This was an outstanding workshop with a large fraction of the leading researchers in the field. It was well-organized in every regard and the BIRS facilities were ideally suited to its size and scope.

The workshop was restricted to a small (20) group of leading experts in this nascent field. This was great. It allowed ample opportunities for long, detailed one-on-one discussions between knowledgeable experts. I learned of many important advances achieved in rival labs., and picked up many valuable ideas for new research directions. I am happy I decided to attend. Banff is highly unusual in providing nearly ideal conditions for such well-targeted workshops in rapidly developing research areas. In the North American continent, its only rival is Aspen.
