EECS stands for Eastern European Category Seminar. There have been such affairs since 1986. Generally taking place each March, they've been organised by Prof. V.V. Topencharov of the Center for Applied Math. & C.S. in Sofia (P.O. Box 384, Sofia 1000 Bulgaria) and his cohorts (students, assistants, and a small international network of colleagues) since 1986. The venue for these meetings has been a ski lodge at Predela, perhaps 100 km south of Sofia, about half way between Blagoevgrad and Razlog on the saddle road between the Rila mountains (to the north) and the Pirins (to the south). The first three years, meteorological conditions were perfect for skiers. The last two, however, a very warm, very early spring annihilated virtually all snow long before the meeting. Expressions of interest in attending future EECS meetings (probably mid-March 1991 will be the next one) may be addressed to Topencharov at the address above or via the Bulgarian Telex number 865 22575 WMI BG (as this is a _central_ telex machine, be sure to mention Topencharov and his address prominently at the head of your telex message, else it'll not get carried to him) -- or to me using any of the means suggested in the .sig below. -- Fred --- Fred E.J.
