Detail or Design meetings

Design issues should be discussed here.
Note:  These two sessions had been envisioned originally as running
in parallel, but interest has been expressed in running them serially
since several people are interested in attending both.

Electronics Session: Grant

	Detail to follow.  Please send either Grant or Nate a note if you
	wish to speak here.
9:45	- some topics:
	Trigger for 2001			John Schaapman
		Can we "freeze" a trigger design?

Software Session: Maher

	Detail to follow.  Please send either Maher or Nate a note if you
	wish to speak here.
11:00	Kalman Filter and Helix Tracking	Maher
11:30	- some other topics:
		Who is doing what? 
		Commissioning tests for Kalman filter
		Tracking of digitized MC
		preparation for cosmic data

12:30	Lunch
