Conference Program
The ADASS program is now available. The number of requests for oral presentations exceeded the available time by a factor of about 2. Therefore, authors whose papers could not be accomodated as oral presentations are requested to prepare posters instead.
The full ADASS 2007 program can be downloaded here.
Find below the conference oral program or download it in PDF.
