Kickoff Schedule

On September 1st, we will hold a kick-off meeting to discuss advances in reasoning in information spaces.

Tentative Schedule

This tentative schedule may be updated closer to the date.

This workshop exists to make progress on compression of information spaces, and reasoning within those compressed spaces.
