There will be no formal proceedings of the workshop.  Work presented may be
submitted elsewhere for formal publication, or, indeed, may have already been
formally published.  Abstracts will be made available online via this website
and on the FLoC USB stick.  We encourage participants with analysis tools to
make these tools available on our website.  This can be done either by providing
us with source tarballs or zip files, or by providing us with links to the tool
homepage as part of the submission.
