At this DANSE developer's meeting, the goals and deliverables of the DANSE project were presented to the team members and to the stakeholders of the DANSE project, including staff members of the SNS. Plans for flagship applications, to be constructed over the course of the full DANSE project, were described by the scientific subgroups. These plans were discussed, and some revisions are expected soon. The plans for the flagship applications as of January 2007 are available here.
