NI2003 Rio de Janeiro 20-25 June 2003 A personal review by Rod Ward

This is not the official conference web site which can be found at: http://www.ni2003.com

As ever with these reports it is being written on a daily(ish) basis & uploaded to the web whenever I can get a connection. There are a personal comments (written during lunch breaks etc.), not an academic review or journal report & should be read in that manner, and it should be recognised that I can only report on the bits I managed to attend.
