13thClassification Research Workshop
Reconceptualizing Classification Research
November 17, 2002This year's classification research workshop will step back and take a reflective view of current and future trends in
classification research. The aim of this year's workshop is to identify and articulate research questions and research agendas that will form the core of classification research in
the next decade. The papers presented at the workshop will ask questions such as "where are we now?" and "what needs to be done?"

The workshop's format
Each presenter has 10 minutes to present the paper. The presentation will be followed by two or three specific questions from the audience. The goal of the presentation is
to set the stage for discussion and act as a facilitator for the discussion.The remaining time (approx. 45 minutes) is for general Q&A,
comments, general discussion of research directions, possible specific projects, potential groups, suggestions for contacts, etc. for the session area as a whole.
The outcomes of this workshop could be the formation of a committee or several subcommittees focused on specific research areas, recommendations for future directions, a joint
paper on the status and future of classification research, or a number of other possibilities. Go to this page to see the original call for papers.
