Emerging issues (session summary)

Abstract

It would be a mistake to infer from the title of this session that discussions of emerging issues were postponed until this final session of the workshop. On the contrary, all of the preceding sessions devoted a large proportion of the discussion to identifying issues that are poorly understood and much in need of further research. In leading this session, Sam Redwine did a remarkable job of condensing this multi-leveled, wide ranging spectrum of issues into a coherent outline. His presentation consisted of two major parts: first he delivered (without interruptions) a summary of the issues discussed in previous sessions; next he highlighted topics for future work and outlined specific actions that should be taken. This was followed by a discussion covering a range of topics relating to Redwine’s presentation, the agenda for the next meeting, and other topics.
