The number of papers and time for presentation was felt to be appropriate. There was some discussion on how to format the breakout sessions for next year. Several suggestions were made for advance notification of the breakout session topics to participants. One, notify by web schedule/proceedings what the topics are. Two, putting a call out for breakout session topics in the call for papers. Three, one or two white papers could be assigned per breakout session. There was a suggestion to consider poster sessions. And there was a suggestion to consider placing the breakout session after the presentation of all the papers. Other issues. Padmini Srinivasan suggested that there should be a resource of SIG/CR members personal statements or research interests posted on the SIG/CR web site. Padmini and the webmaster will look into this project.
