ISTAS13: Invitation to Participate

[Alexander Hayes]

Hi folks,

Here's the latest and greatest which I thought would be of interest to a number of you given the synergies of where some innovative research, praxis and innovative technologies are intersecting.

I look forward to your comments in this group on your thoughts as to where this might bear resonance in your own fields of endeavour.

Many thanks !
