DESCRIPTION:The goal of this meeting is to discuss  the theoretical assess
 ment of the Opera report and of its possible implications. We shall not fo
 cus on a discussion over the systematics of the measurements. Instead\, un
 der the assumption that Opera's measurement of distance and time of flight
  are correct\, we shall address a set of questions like:\n1- does the Oper
 a measurement imply Lorentz symmetry violation?\n2- which types of Lorentz
  violation are required?\n3- which experimental and theoretical constraint
 s apply to these scenarios?\n4- is the v>c conclusion categorically exclud
 ed from the theoretical perspective\, in view of the other experimental co
 nstraints\, or are there loopholes?\n5- if an interpretation in terms of v
 >c is tenable\, what are the further implications of the models that allow
  this?\n6- what are the measurements that must be done to test these allow
 ed scenarios\, or to rule them out?\n\nThe informal discussion will be dri
 ven by few theoretical presentations\, covering the most relevant issues r
 aised by theoretical papers recently appeared in the literature.\n\nhttp:/
