The following is the list of talks that were scheduled to be presented at OTC2001. (Some speakers were not able to attend, due to the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.) To encourage frank sharing of experiences, no published proceedings were produced for the workshop. However, a subset of the speakers agreed to make their paper from the workshop notes and/or their slides available, and these are linked below. Please direct requests for papers not included here to the appropriate author.
