32 papers were presented. Rather than summarizing each one individually, we give a few highlights, conditioned by the items in the working group charge, namely:
- Summarize the state of the art in simulation capabilities. What developments are needed?
- Summarize the state of the art in theory. What developments are needed?
- Summarize recent developments in benchmarking experimental data with simulations. What critical experiments and diagnostic developments are needed to further refine the theory and simulations?
- Summarize the state of the art in instability mitigation techniques. What further technology developments are needed?
- Summarize the primary limitations to beam intensity in existing circular machines.
- Summarize the key beam dynamics questions for high-intensity circular machines
- Summarize opportunities for advancing the field.

The focus of the Working group B was to discuss the following questions:
- Summarize the state of the art in linac simulation capabilities. What are the weaknesses? What developments are needed?
- Summarize recent developments in benchmarking experimental data with simulations. What critical experiments are needed to further refine the theory and simulations?
- Summarize the present understanding and limitations of linac beam dynamics in operating linacs.
- Summarize the primary limitations to beam intensity in existing high-intensity linear accelerators.
- Summarize the key open questions in the beam dynamics of high-intensity linacs and opportunities to advance the field.

The charge to this working group was the following:
- Summarize the state of the art in H- charge-exchange injection.
- Summarize recent developments and future possibilities for novel injection techniques.
- Summarize the problems encountered, the needs for further development and improvements in injection and extraction of high-intensity beams.
- Summarize the state-of-the art in collimation system design.
- Summarize the status of benchmarking of collimation system efficiency and performance.

The working group D covered
- commissioning aspects of new high power machines,
- operational aspects of existing high power machines, and
- comparison of modeling and measurements of residual activation buildup.

The International Program Committee of the Workshop and its Chairman have charged us with the following three questions:
- Recent trends in high-intensity proton/ion beam facilities?
- Critical challenges and key research areas for substantial beam power increases?
- Necessary improvements in theory and simulation tools?

Working group F was charged with presentations and discussions on diagnostics and instrumentation of highintensity beams. We had 3 sessions spanning a total time of 330 minutes, in which 13 talks were presented. The presentation time for each talk had to be limited to 15-20 min., in order to allow sufficient time (5-10 min.) for some discussion. This turned out quite well, even though some presentations went longer, not every topic required the anticipated discussion time.
A final discussion session of 110 minutes was held as joint session with working group D (operations).
