OXFORD UNIVERSITY  COMPUTING LABORATORY

QICSQICS Workshop Schedule

The first QICS workshop will take place in the Oxford University Computing Laboratory from Thursday 15th to Saturday 17th of March 2007.

The intention is to have a mixture of technical and strategic talks outlining the activities going on at the various QICS sites. On the first day there will be talks from representatives from most of the sites; there will also be a business lunch. The other days will be filled with scientific contributed talks.

The schedule will be very flexible so as to allow for maxmium discussion; below is a provisional plan.
