The presentation will be videotaped using quality systems. To present, one should submit a video 3 months ahead of time: to ensure that people are truly preparing for such a short, but very rich presentation. At the launch of ever day's program, a few people will be presenting. To support the preparation people will be asked to offer answers to questions like who s/he is, what s/he is doing, interests, vision, etc... | ||

An analogous virtual SDDP was organised more than 4 years ago and has driven developments since then. The vision is for a new process to kindle developments for the next 3-4 years using the authentic needs, ideas, and wishes of the community of scientists and practitioners. | ||

The deliberations at the gathering will address all four domains of the DOSM, i.e., the Foundation, Theory, Methodology, and Applications, in order to ensure the evolution of the science in accordance to the tenants of this model, as described in the referential transparency paper posted at the link: www.dialogicdesignscience.wikispaces.com | The deliberations at the gathering will address all four domains of the DOSM, i.e., the Foundation, Theory, Methodology, and Applications, in order to ensure the evolution of the science in accordance to the tenants of this model, as described in the [[referential transparency paper]] posted at the link: www.dialogicdesignscience.wikispaces.com | ||
