Registration

LWD-07 has received generous support from the National Science Foundation and Wright State University.  As a result, we have been able to limit the total conference cost to $50 per person (participant or guest), which will provide partial coverage of catering costs.  Continental breakfast, lunch and break refreshments will be provided at the conference on both days.  In addition, all conference participants and registered guests will receive dinner at the Thursday evening banquet  that will be held at the National Museum of the US Air Force.  All conference participants will receive a copy of the conference proceedings.  You may register using on-line registration or by downloading the form and send by mail, fax or email.
