Overview

The SEEK 2005 All Hands meeting will be a forum for discussing progress on the EcoGrid, SMS, KR, Kepler, BEAM, Taxon, and EOT activities. We expect that all funded SEEK participants will attend in order to stimulate communication and collaboration across the project. We will also be inviting colleagues from the CIPRES, NESCENT, and GEON projects to discuss opportunities for collaboration with allied disciplines. The basic agenda is presented below, although this will be adjusted as we near the meeting timeframe due to the rapid advances made by the SEEK project.
