Slides and Papers from SHARCS'05

In the following we present material from the first SHARCS workshop which took place in Paris, February 24.-25. 2005.
At the conference we distributed the contributed and invited papers bound together to form a small booklet. Here we make accessible those papers for which the authors gave permission. Please note that some of links go to external sites and that the content might change without notification on this page. Furthermore, the content my not be the same as in the handouts -- but that's a good sign that the research is proceeding.
