Sunday, 8/31

Arrival: Participants should arrange for arriving at Schloss Dagstuhl
before 7pm when staff members are available. After 7m the organizers
will advice arriving participants. Note that the letter you received
from the Dagstuhl office gives instructions of how to get into the
building if nobody is at the reception. Coffee and evening meals will
be served that day (presumably sandwiches, salads etc).

----------------------------------------------------------------------

The following annotated schedule is tentative and very flexible,
following the loose format Dagstuhl seminars are known for. We want to
allow enough room for discussions. Results of the discussions might
influence the remaining schedule (except for Wednesday afternoon).
The time after the last discussion each day is unscheduled time
(according to the Dagstuhl Web site, dinner is typically served around
6pm) and gives participants many opportunities to enjoy their stay at
the Schloss Dagstuhl.
