Program
The workshop program will extend over 1.5 days and will be organized around 4 topics drawn from the position papers. There will be a plenary panel session on each topic that will seed per-topic breakout sessions, where attendees will further discuss the topic to construct recommendations for NSF regarding the vision, challenges, and opportunities for research on the topic over the next 5-10 years. A program schedule is below.
Plenary sessions will be held in the Mackenzie Room in the Jen-Hsun Huang Engineering Center (475 Via Ortega, Room 300, Stanford, CA 94305). Breakout sessions will be held in the Gates Building (353 Serra Mall, Stanford, CA 94305) with per-topic rooms listed in the program.
