SynBERC:Devices

back to SynBERC on OWW

This is a draft list of research topics that the SynBERC Device Thrust is considering for support. Please contribute & edit with impunity. We need to get the set of topics correct and then organize ourselves (and anybody else who wants) around getting the work done. Join the mailing list! =Working Meetings=
