Thanks. > Interesting work. As usual in such meetings, they are spending a significant amount of time re-inventing the wheel. They also do not seem to be listening to each other very well. Each document displayed a tight focus by its author(s) with no evidence of interaction. Boehm, as usual, displayed a lot of graphical data with little connection to details. Other groups seem to want to jump into the details with little formal analysis. This meeting appears to be a very early step in defining various positions and beliefs. This primarily political process will continue until some subgroup becomes dominant. At that point a serious technical proposal may emerge. Jim Rogers
