CR Workshop

This years workshop had 60 attendees.

The breakout sessions were felt to be a success.  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.
