I should have mentioned that funding for travel to the workshop for 
individuals from UK academic institutions is available from the EPSRC 
e-SciNet project.  If you wish to be able to claim travel expenses from 
e-SciNet after the event, please note this in your registration request.

Also, the draft report for the first workshop in this series (mentioned 
above) can be found at:
