AOOD Transition Workshop - June 9-11, 2011

Workshop Information

June 9, 2011 - 9:00am - June 11, 2011 - 5:00pm

Goals for this workshop are to review and discuss the progress made so far on the various program projects and their synergies. Current status and future directions of research in the program areas will be assessed. The workshop will feature sessions on the five thematic areas of this program, functional data analysis, dynamics, data on manifolds,brain imaging and trees, and will bring together participants from the various working groups in these areas.

This workshop will be held at SAMSI.
