TO:  ARL PET Team
        ASC PET Team


The following are preliminary thoughts on how the ARL/ASC Joint Review and Planning Workshop scheduled for February 23  25 will be structured.

This workshop is a formal continuation of ad hoc efforts to increase the collaboration between ARL PET and ASC PET.  The focus will be to review where we have been and to enter discussions with the partners to pursue joint efforts thus leveraging the resources.

In an earlier message we advised you that the workshop would be held at the Sheraton Four Points Inn in Aberdeen, Maryland.  Tentatively, this is still the plan.  However, with the recent completion of the expansion of the HEAT Center, the workshop may be moved to the HEAT Center since there are a greater number of rooms available to accommodate breakout sessions and discussion groups.  We will confirm this with you as soon as we have all the details worked out.

Further we are considering asking some of our partners to present demonstrations of their work and to present posters.  If you desire to present a demonstration or a poster please let me know by the end of January.


Objectives of the workshop:
------------------------------------------
1.  Provide a status and progress report of the respective ARL and ASC PET programs

2.  Engage in discussions for identifying and developing collaborative projects for the outyears.


Pre-workshop Effort:
------------------------------------------
Each PET Academic and corporate partner should be prepared to present a status report of current contract efforts to date.  The report of efforts to date will be evaluated in terms of value added to the DOD objective of increasing the computational capabilities of the DOD labs.  The specific metrics for presenting the value added will be left to the discretion of the partner .  However, as was discussed at the ARL Year 2 end-of-year review we should focus our efforts on how our work advances the work of the DOD scientists and engineers.  The time available for the report by the partners is limited so please confine the discussions to substantive matters within the framework discussed above.


Currently Proposed Daily Schedule:
(See attached details)
------------------------------------------
February 23

8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.                  Reports by Partners

February 24

8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.          Breakout and Planning Sessions

February 25

8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.          Report on Breakout and Planning Sessions


Presentations:

Each PET area will present a status report using PowerPoint Presentation slide.  As a guideline there should be no more than six briefing charts in which the presenter will discuss the substantive aspects of the contract work.

To minimize the time required between presentations we will have one computer with projector set up for all presenters to use. 

Logistics

Please RSVP to Emma Grove (emma@@arl.mil) AND Jill Robertson (jill.robertson@@msrc.wpafb.af.mil) by COB 17 February.
