Polarity From Different Perspectives

Workshop Schedule

Approximate Schedule as of 3/2/05

This schedule is probably final as regards the assignment of speakers to sessions (Friday/Saturday, morning/afternoon). On the other hand, the session-internal divisions may be somewhat fluid. Please bear this in mind if you plan to attend only part of the workshop.

If you wish to read the abstracts/papers/posters in advance, please use the links below and on the Electronic Posters page; we will not be distributing printouts.
