being used; current status of the project, and a description of what the
authors propose to present at the workshop. Note that complete analysis of

panelists have made a commitment to serve on the panel; and a brief
description of each panelists background, expertise and views on the
proposed topic.

The workshop will be held as an all-day meeting on Saturday, December 12,
2015, in Fort Worth, Texas just before the start of ICIS 2015. Participants
should plan on arriving the day before for an early start at the workshop.
