WG4 sessions at Pan GCSS Meeting 2005, Athens

Here is a summary, list of talks and a links to pdf versions of some of these

Summary

The Deep WG sessions were held as break out sessions on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon of the Pan GCSS meeting. The first day was dedicated to talks of peoples work related to interests of the deep WG.
Case 5 was in its early stages and following the meeting submission of results was still encouraged. The second day focused on presenting very early analysis of results from this case. See the second day talks for some early results from CASE 5.
