SPEC Benchmarking Joint US/Europe Colloquium
        Program Details
     Currently (as of May 30, 2007), it is planned that there will be
        12 presentations at the workshop (June 22, 2007), from both SPEC
        and non-SPEC authors. Note that the times may still be subject to
        (small) changes. A program sheet with the final times will be distributed
        in the morning of the workshop. 
    Abstracts, where available, are linked from each presentation's title.
