XDS2008 Program
This is the rough program for XDS2008. If you would like to give a talk, please add a proposal to the Ideas section below. Please do not edit the program itself: instead, if you have any time constraints (e.g. are arriving late or leaving early), please note them with your talk.
Refreshments (coffee, tea, biscuits, etc) will be served throughout the day; a light breakfast will be served in the morning (coffee, tea and pastries), and lunch will be served on-campus. Dinner is at your own discretion, as long as you're out of the zoo by 6pm. There's a pub across the road from the zoo, which is apparently quite good.
On Thursday, there'll be a guided tour of the zoo at sunset, going from 6pm-7:30pm, after which there'll be a drink and some finger food back at Mansion House.
Feel free to fill the bof/demo/misc slots if you want to talk about something.
