Cartel 2007 Agenda
Here's a first pass at a list of topics for the Cartel meeting. It's based on last year's meeting, but I'm sure there are some new issues that have come up since then. Please look it over and send mail to me ( abrumley@cmu.edu) or the Cartel list with any additional items that you'd like to have discussed.
If you've done some significant work that you'd like to share in a short (5-10 minute) presentation, give me a quick summary of the topic.
