(The following is cribbed from the "Workshop goals" page under http://kissdm.pbworks.com/)
The ultimate goal (as we're thinking about the problem at present), is to develop a mathematical framework, that will allow us to calculate something along the lines of 'figures of merit', both for each of many DM particle properties given an array of observables; and for the converse, of how well a single observable constraints one or more aspects of DM particle properties.
Philosophically, we would like to set the stage in a fashion that does not immediately force us to assume particle candidate A or B, within or outside of SUSY specifically. Is this practical, possible? We're trying to set it up this way, and will debate it at the workshop itself, starting on the very first day. Furthermore, it's going to be okay if we don't cover all aspects of everything in this workshop. Indeed, we are aiming to set up a framework (and terminology) that will be useful, fairly simple, and flexible/extensible, so that future model permutations and future observables can be ingested and examined in the context of everything else. Thoughts and comments on this are welcome!
