Eighth Biennial Ptolemy Miniconference Program

The Eighth Biennial Ptolemy Miniconference was held on Thursday, April 16, 2009 at the University of California, Berkeley in the Wozniak Lounge, 4th Floor Soda Hall

Note that Cyber-Physical Systems Week was held in San Francisco earlier in the week.

The previous day, we held a tutorial on Wednesday, April 15, 2009 for Java programmers interested in hands-on learning about Ptolemy.
