> behaviour, workspace design, social care and child welfare, and the
> management of crowd behavior and crowd events. With this in mind the aims
> of this workshop are:
> 
> €    To build awareness of these exciting advances and their impact on
> practice
> €    To stimulate discussion on possible future applications of a
> sociotechnical approach
