CONTRIBUTED TALKS

   A list of contributed talks with abstracts is available from the
   workshop page (see URL above) that contains also more

FORMAT

   The emphasis is on the exchange of ideas between participants similar
   in style to Dagstuhl seminars.  In particular, talks on subjects
   presented at other conferences and workshops are acceptable.


VENUE

   The workshop will take place at the University of Sussex. It will
   commence at 9:30am on Monday morning and close around 4pm on
   Wednesday afternoon.


ACCOMMODATION

   Bed & breakfast on campus in single rooms with en suite bathroom
   (standard) is available at 45 pounds per night in our brand new
   halls of residence or at a more economical 30.50 pound with shared
   facilities (budget).
   Lunch is included in the registration fee. There will be no organized
   evening meals except the Workshop dinner.


REGISTRATION

   Registration is now open. Please download the registration form
   from the workshop web pages at:

                EARLY REGISTRATION DEADLINE is

                       ***   AUGUST 7th ***

   at the reduced registration fee of 40 pounds. Please register as
   early as possible to secure a room at the above mentioned rates
   on campus. You can still register after August 7th at a fee of
   70 pounds but in this case availability of rooms is not guaranteed
   and you may need to find accommodation yourself which can be
   quite tricky in Brighton.

   Lunches will take place in a building adjacent to the lecture  
theatre.
