REVIEW PUBLISHED in Classical and Quantum Gravity
We achieved the main goal: To bring people together from the GR/DA and Astrophysics communities to discuss. Therefore, after the meeting, a few of us decided that it would pay off to write a review of the topics that we had addressed in the satellite discussions, during the talks etc etc. The article has been accepted for publication in Classical and Quantum Gravity and you can download it from the arXiv. This is a direct link: arXiv:astro-ph/0703495v2 (“Intermediate and Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspirals — Astrophysics, Science Applications and Detection using LISA”).
