Conference Program

General Description

The two parallel conferences has 18 sessions in total. The sessions run partly in parallel. However the goal of the organizers is to have single session whenever appropriate and possible. The conference topics are grouped to form sessions with common general research field. Furthermore, the sessions are divided to those for ESA Workshop attendees and those for GSMM2011 attendees as well as to joint sessions.
