Review the current development projects aimed at more robust and faster fitting, inclusion of new theory codes etc.
E.g.:
- Speedup of the MCMCs
- Adaptive Simulated Annealing
- Inclusion of HiggsBounds

Currently ongoing projects, e.g.:

• Treatment of Assignment Uncertainties
• GMSB at ATLAS
• indirect detektion and maybe other cosmological constraints
• Comparisons of RGE codes for fits of edges
• Discriminating NMSSM and MSSM

16:00 → 18:00 Theory

Discuss the present states of the codes we use, their future (and their future availability) and possible other codes. Also discuss how to increase the coherence of the usage of the codes and questions like theoretical uncertainties.

Talks and discussion about the following topics is foreseen:

• Talk/Discussion about the future of and the future availability of Mastercode
• Talk/Discussion about the future of SPheno "uber Updates SPheno
• Discussion about suitable other codes
• in addition:
• more Models? (CMSSM, etc)
• Unified Code (RGE running etc) for LE + LHC
• implement RGE running from low to high scale
• are there codes/calculations with higher precisions than the ones we have?
• Theoretical Uncertainties
• Correlations amongst theoretical uncertainties
• other models than 'just' SUSY?
• Fit A instead of X (not so important and easy to do, for completeness)
• different chi2 shape for theoretical uncertainties?

Friday 30 October

09:00 → 12:00 Discussion Inputs

Discuss how to increase the space of possible inputs. I.e.
- Tevatron Limits
- LHC rates
- indirect/derect DM detection
- Updates LE
- Full Higgsbounds with chi2
- Possible missing input-Methods (asymmetries, etc? Spectral shapes? Use of shapes prametrized from MC?)
- allow to define source of calculation for each obs
