5. Preliminary Session Layout   Full 4.5 (Monday through Friday noon) schedule   45 rooms for parallel sessions   405 total sessions (current actual usage is 478 sessions)   Assume our sessions and total papers will be 15% less than this year.   Session layout is TBD   SciTech Keynotes have top priority (no other talks during keynotes)   SDM and Concurrent Conferences Keynotes (8 keynotes need to be placed around SciTech keynotes)   Number of concurrent ADS sessions, times, and days is TBD   Every effort will be made to have full sessions, even if we have to combine half sessions   Minimum of 4 papers per session   No more than 3 concurrent sessions for each TC

6.   SDM Keynote Speakers   SDM Opening Keynote   SDM Awards Luncheon Speaker   SDM Lecture Speaker   ASME Keynote   Adaptive Structures Keynote   Gossamer Systems Keynote   Multidisciplinary Design Optimization Keynote   Non-Deterministic Approaches Keynote Aerospace Design and Structures 7 Keynote Speakers It will be a challenge to include 7 keynote speakers within SciTech Format Time to identify speakers, this conference has a short fuse (1/2014)
