Eco-DAS X 2012

The following individuals have been invited and will attend Eco-DAS X in October 2012. Each has contributed a proposed chapter outline, in some cases with another participant. These proposed chapter topics will form the basis for collaborative chapters in the symposium proceedings, an open-access, web-based book to be published in 2013.
