The workshop will consist of three paper sessions and a concluding session on post GROW activities. We encourage paper givers to limit their presentation to 15 minutes (less is preferable) and allocate 5 minutes to each discussant, leaving ample time for questions and comments from the audience. Bring your memory stick if your presentation contains visual material and effects.
