3. Workshop site:

We wish to hold the AA-SP workshop at the auditorium of LAPAN on 2-3 March. Then, we will join the Yoden's meeting from afternoon of 3 March. (* Note that we originally proposed to hold the meeting at ITB. But, as LAPAN is the local host, it seems better to have it at LAPAN in Bandung.)

4. Schedule: 2-5 March 2009 (see the schedule)

A workshop dedicated to AA-SP will be held one full day on 2 March (Mon) and in the morning of 3 March (Tue). We also urge the participants to join the sessions on 3-5 March as well. Please note that participants are arriving Bandung at around 10-11PM Sunday evening (1 March), and we will start the workshop from 10:30AM on Monday.
