Preliminary Workshop program

GEANT4 WORKSHOP PROGRAM, 3 - 9 August 1996, Vancouver - CANADA

The purpose of this workshop is to provide a platform for in-depth
discussions of some of the present hot topics related to the design and
the implementation of the GEANT4 toolkit in the different sub-domains,
most of which have to be addressed, and hopefully solved early next year.
One of the main purposes of the workshop (together with real work)
is to see where we are with meeting the milestones, doing some
risk and resources analysis.

The first day will be devoted to the presentations of the
program of work/task list, for each working session, to
be fulfilled in the next days.

The five following days will start each with a presentation on
the general activity of a G4 working group, followed by a plenary
discussion session on this topic, and then they will
be fully devoted to working sessions in front of terminals
and blackboards covering:

- Tracking,
- Hadronics,
- Hits/Digi,
- PIIM,
- Graphics.

The last day will be devoted to the workshop summary,
consisting of the presentations of the results achieved
in the working sessions.

Generally we intend to provide a rather informal environment, and are
certainly open for further suggestions on improvements to the preliminary
program.

Best regards,
           Hans-Peter Wellisch, Simone Giani.
