Workshop Program

The transparencies of each speaker were copied and scanned, or provided by the speaker as a postscript file. The scanned copies were optimized for printing and may not yield the best appearance on display screens. For each speaker the scanned images were collected in a pdf document now linked to the title of the talk below. If a postscript file was provided, a gzipped copy is linked instead.

SPECIAL NOTICE: Due to security problems for the system that stores the transparency images, direct access may not be available. To request a file when a link fails, please contact John Hiller at jhiller@d.umn.edu.
