SF12 Participants:
In the table, the numbers within parentheses refer to the particular weeks the participant is staying at the workshop, e.g., (X/?/3) means the person is not staying for the first week, has not yet decided whether he/she wishes to stay for the second week or is on a waiting list for that week, and is scheduled to be present for the third week. If you need to make changes, please re-register and/or send email to sf12[at]lists.mcs.anl.gov. Note that partial week attendance is not possible. Stays are (strictly) defined by the following: Week 1 (Arrival 1 July – Departure 7 July), Week 2 (Arrival 8 July – Departure 14 July), and Week 3 (Arrival 15 July – Departure 21 July). If confused, send email to sf12[at]lists.mcs.anl.gov.

SF12 Schedule:
All of the talks will be held in the Junior Common Room in the Peterson Student Center, except a few talks perhaps in the Senior Common Room (see the SF12 Location page for more information). All morning talks will begin at 9:30. Since questions are encouraged during the review talks we expect these to take longer than a typical seminar — we will take a 15 minute break about 45 minutes into the review. The review talks should finish up by 11:15 allowing time for informal discussion before lunch.
After lunch, we will begin at 1:00 with two technical talks of roughly 30 minutes each, and including time for discussion these should be done by 2:30. The directed discussion sessions begin at 3:00 and go on till the participants are exhausted (hopefully this will happen around 5:00 or so).
Following the practice established in SF99, there will be no talks on Wednesdays and Fridays will be half-days.
A new(ish) feature is the reorganization of Week 3 around a topical workshop, for SF12 we will focus on computational methods in cosmology. For more on this see below (week 3 schedule).
