Draft Agenda

Participants are encouraged to take advantage of a poster session to present recent results. The poster format allows people to have extended discussion regarding results of interest. Those who are presenting posters will have an opportunity to introduce their material briefly (one minute, one transparency) so the audience will know what is available. There is limited space for posters; thus, please confirm whether you will give a poster so that we can reserve a space for you.

Please email pircs@iastate.edu if you have questions about the agenda, or additional agenda items to suggest.
