Format for CSI Workshop Reports

1. Title page
2. List of participants
3. Executive Summary
4. Description of areas of research covered by workshop
5. Response to questions in the charge
   1. What important questions in your area of science could computation address; with benefits/results that go substantially beyond those of current research approaches (experiment and observation, theory, existing computing.)
   2. For each of these:
      • what would the benefits be for your area of science, for DOE's missions, or for society generally?
      • what computational tools or resources would be required?
      • what advances would be required or barriers overcome in theory, algorithms, mathematics, computer science, or computational technology in order to achieve these benefits?
      • what is the projected time line, cost and risk to achieve these benefits?
      • what experimental, observational or theoretical work should accompany or precede the computational work for best results?
   3. Are there any general computational infrastructure advances that would benefit your area of science beyond the specific requirements discussed in question 2? Please describe these, indicate why they are; important, and discuss cost, time line, and benefits associated with them.
   4. Are there any cross-cutting computational science issues that your area of science shares with others, and that should be addressed jointly? Please describe,indicate the other areas of science you share them with, and recommend how to deal with them.

      Note: Be sure to include in this section your estimates of requirements for computation, data storage, and networking. Where possible use quantitative estimates such as size of calculation in number of operations, storage in number of bytes, and networking in bits/sec. Any needed resources not expected to be available as commercial products should be described.

6. Conclusions
7. Appendices (as necessary)

Note: Reports should be limited to about 10 pages.
