<st1:State w:st="on">Massachusetts</st1:State></st1:place>, as a satellite
event of the MRS annual meeting. Sessions on complex fluids, biology,
polymers, and surfaces, are planned. Each talk will include an overview
of the status of current applications and techniques, the potential of using
advanced neutron techniques to provide new capabilities, and the developments
required to enable these goals to be met. The web site at <a

utilize open discussion to summarize the science presentations to maximize the
integration of science and techniques to develop the directions of research and
future investments in a wide variety of environments. Active feedback will
enable a summary of future actions to be discussed on the last day. Included in
the Workshop summary will be a description of the capabilities of the present
and planned reactor and accelerator-based sources along with development of new
techniques. The summary will also serve as an important document when
communicating with funding agencies and the public. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
