program of the workshop will start on Monday (the day after
arrival) with a keynote presentations from 8 to 9 in the
morning. Then there will be time for skiing from 9 to 3. At
4 pm we will resume the academic program with five
contributed presentations with discussants. Every author
have around 30 minutes to present the main idea(s) of their
paper. The discussant will be allowed 10 to 15 minutes.
We would very much encourage the contributors to present
ideas in their very early stage. Finally, there will be
dinner at 8 pm. On the second day (Tuesday) the program will
