Now the program is shaping up: the participants' list is more or less ready, and what remains is to set up the daily list of activities. This will happen in April, after we (Mikko Alava and Erik Aurell) get back from the KITPC program in Beijing. Some of the last minute additions are: Luca Peliti (Napoli), Matteo Palassini (Barcelona), and Massimo Vergassola (Paris).

As regards the workshop, scientists who recently have signed up include Bart Selman (Cornell) and Scott Kirkpatrick (MIT, and HUJI). This proves that we do not have only physicists attending, I hope..... the deadline of the workshop is Feb. 29th, so there are still some days to go.
