Introduction

Roundtable XII took place June 4-6, 2008, hosted by the University of Wisconsin in Madison, Wisconsin. The event was attended by 31 people from 22 organizations, including representatives from two observers (organizations attending a Roundtable to see if they wish to join).

The Roundtable was dedicated to technical committee sessions, BOFs, and informal discussions and networking, with an all-hands Plenary meeting as the last item on Friday afternoon. The Technical Committee sessions were as usual organized sequentially, without competing parallel sessions, as is our standard practice to allow all attendees who wished to be involved in the discussions of each Technical Committee the opportunity to do so.
