An alternative technique for precision spectroscopy, that is rapidly gaining interest, is direct excitation of atomic transitions with a train of pulses from a frequency comb laser. As the high peak intensity of such ultrashort pulses allows efficient upconversion of an infrared frequency comb output to higher frequencies, it seems very promising for extending high-resolution spectroscopy to the VUV and XUV spectral region.

Session 5, entitled “People in Context”, addressed the question of how to understand the role of people in processes by looking at the vtarious contexts in which they operate. The discussion was organized by examining the process model context, the team context, the project context, and the organization context. Dewayne Perry organized the session by discussion of four different contexts in which to consider people: the process model context, the teani context, the project context, and the organization

Session 1, entitled ‘People, Processes and Practice ’, was divided into two discussion sections. The first included discussions of how people are treated and supported in process models in terms of control and guidance, issues of context switching, and aspects of informality. The second focused primarily on deviating from the defined processes, detecting and resolving those deviations, and tailoring processes
