The workshop concluded with a panel discussion, chaired by Chris Clarke, with John Miller, Silvano Bonazzola and Matt Choptuik comprising the panel. The session was recorded by (what turned out to be) a rather inadequate tape recorder. I have tried on the one hand to make sense in the transcription of the passages which were unclear, and on the other to edit out some of the more repetitious moments, but I must apologise if I have ended up misreporting any of the participants.

Chris Clarke:

I would like the panel to start off by saying what they think are the main highlights of the meeting, the things which have struck them most about the results which have been presented here and also, if possible, what they think are the main problems of where we're going.

John Miller:

A particular impression which I have got from listening to the contributions in this meeting is that the situation now is really very different from what it was only a few years ago in similar sorts of meeting. At that time there was really one sort of method that everybody used. There were experiments with other sorts of method but there was a very strong brand leader. This is still true, but the brand leader has much stronger competition now and I have been very interested to hear during this meeting about how the various competing methods are coming along.
