canSAS-VIII-schedule

From canSAS

Schedule for the 2015 canSAS-VIII meeting at J-PARC

The aim for this workshop is to provide a forum for sas users and providers to come together to discuss common needs and issues, to learn from each others experiences, discuss current best practices, hear about emerging techniques, and when possible to identify areas where the field/state of the art could be improved by bringing together the people that are interested and able to work cooperatively to solve the problem. Taking a queue from agile programming and unconferences, the schedule is meant to be a live document that evolves with input from the participants up to, and even during, the meeting.
