  While the long-term vision of the advanced accelerator community is aimed at
addressing the challenges of future collider technology, it is critical that
the community takes advantage of the opportunity to make large societal impact
through its near-term applications. In turn, enabling robust applications
strengthens the quality, control, and reliability of the underlying accelerator
infrastructure. The white paper contributions that are solicited here will
summarize the near-term applications ideas presented by the advanced
accelerator community, assessing their potential impact, discussing scientific
and technical readiness of concepts, and providing a timeline for
implementation.
