VisualSMP

This is an opportunity for you to express your interest to attend a VisualSMP training session at the Annapolis offices of Alion Science and Technology.  Class size is 8 students and the dates are 14-15 October 2008.  Tuition is projected to be $1,500/student.  Instruction will be provided by Dr. Ben Jiang, a user and developer of VisualSMP.

If you are potentially interested in attending, please respond to Jonathan Ross at jmross@alionscience.com.  Your response is for planning purposes and is not a commitment.   You will receive a follow-up registration package, and may make your formal commitment at that stage.
