>Presentation Notes
>------------------    
> 
>Industrial experimentation is often sequential, with initial screening
>experiments followed by other stages of experimentation.  Common
>alternatives for subsequent experimentation include the path of steepest
>ascent, augmenting an initial fractional factorial via foldover, and adding
>axial and center points to complete a central composite design.  This talk
>will focus on two other alternatives: augmentation via semifolding and
>non-central composite designs.  In each case we find opportunity to use
>estimates from the initial experiment to direct location of the follow-up
>design.

>Suggested route is to take appropriate interstates to I-77 
>and the I-77 to Rockside Road.
>>From northeast Ohio we recommend I-90 to I-271 south
