Comments Conclusion

• Foundations 02 will be a very significant event
• A lot has been accomplished, but much remains to
  be done (volunteers to help are still welcome)
• Others may want to become Foundations 02
  sponsors, so that they will be recognized in
  Workshop products
• Foundations 02 will bring a mixture of
  perspectives and insights from DoD (40), DOE
  (30), rest (30) FAA, NIST, NASA, academia,
  industry, foreign, etc. that should provide a
  broad and solid foundation for the VV state of
  the art. Estimates in ( ) based upon author
  session leader associations.

Comments Conclusion contd

• Foundations 02 has three requirements for
  success
• Qualified authors for invited papers this
  requirement has been met
• Qualified session leaders to ensure robust
  discussion of the topics 50 of 60 slots are
  filled
• Co-chair slots open B4, T1, T6, T7, T8
• Recorder slots open B6, T1, T3, T4, T8
• 3. Qualified participants ensure that enough
  knowledgeable people attend so that we produce
  state-of-the-art descriptions for all areas

Invited Paper Sessions
Session Format (session restricted to 20-30
people addresses space consideration ensures
discussion is most meaningful) Length 3 1/2
hours Invited Paper Presentation 90
minutes Paper will be available for participants
a month before the Workshop Topic Discussion
(caveats, counter-views, etc.) 90
minutes Discussion ideas will be captured and
included in Workshop products Synopsis of Session
Findings by Session Leaders 30 min
State of VV Art for the Session VVA area will
be the combination of the invited paper and the
discussion comments.
