The ichim99 Program included plenary sessions, two concurrent theme tracks and informal special interest/birds of a feather sessions, as well as an exhibit hall. In general, plenary and panel sessions alternated with sessions featuring one to four formal papers, with and without commentators. An effort was made to provide adequate time for discussion in all sessions. Papers were published in Proceedings which the attendees had at registration so the focus was on discussion of the issues.
