"Science of Design", National Science Foundation

Next year NSF will start a major funding program for research on the
science of design. To help set the direction, NSF is organizing an
invitation-only workshop in November. I am on the program committee.
Deadline for position papers is THIS WEDNESDAY, October 1.

By participating in this early stage, you help ensure that large amounts
of taxpayer dollars are invested wisely and we get a chance to improve how
design is done ten years from now.
