2012 Fall Working Groups

The ASR Fall Working Group meeting was held October 29-November 2 at the Hilton Rockville Hotel and Conference Center in Rockville, Maryland. Due to Superstorm Sandy, the meeting ended early and many participants were not able to attend. To accommodate those unable to attend, online conferencing was provided. The following presentations were shared.
