I highlight a few general themes about blazars and their variability discussed in this workshop and then raise some outstanding open questions that will, hopefully, be answered in a future workshop. Figure 1: Time evolution of Levinson based on his comment about blazars that "the more I know about these objects, the less I understand them". The solid line decreasing with time shows the time evo...

This workshop will differ from other conferences on aluminum in that the participants will identify and discuss major unresolved/contrcversial issues related to aluminum that warrant future research and suggest research approaches. The key participants addressing each issue will prepare a written summary addressing their issue in advance of the workshop for presentation to the entire delegation...

The aim of the fourth workshop on Object-Oriented Architectural Evolution was to discuss into more detail a number of important issues raised during the previous workshop: the relationship between domain analysis and software architecture, the importance of architectural views and layering techniques, and the applicability of existing object-oriented principles and evolution techniques. This pa...

A system that can continue critical operations, perhaps in a degraded mode, in the face of a partially successful cyber attack can be termed “intrusion tolerant.” The workshop will provide a forum for the presentation and discussion of current efforts to develop subsystems and systems that display some degree of intrusion tolerance. The workshop will also provide the opportunity for demonstrati...
