For this Special Session the authors of all 11 papers provided both a display Monday evening and a presentation for the panel discussion Tuesday morning. Session MR 28: Monday 4:10-5:40pm, Authors will provide poster or computer based displays fore each of the 10 papers on Computer Aided Linkage Synthesis. Session MR 29: Tuesday 10:20-11:50, Authors will form a panel and have 5-10 minutes each to present an overview of the 10 papers. The goal is a panel discussion on the current state and future direction of Computer Aided Linkage Synthesis. Authors and Papers Adrian M.
