Dear Colleagues, This is the Final Announcement and Call for Participation for the 2002 Clifford Lectures and MFPS 18, both of which will take place on the Tulane campus from March 20 through March 26, 2002. The theme of the 2002 Clifford Lectures is Mathematical Logic for Computer Science and this year's lecturer is Professor Sergei N. Artemov (CUNY Graduate Center). Professor Artemov's three lectures are entitled, "Explicit logic for computer science." Eleven other noted logicians and computer scientists will be presenting talks at the lectures. A preliminary program is now available; it can be accessed at the URL http://www.math.tulane.edu/~mfps/clifford.html by following the appropriate link. This year's MFPS meeting will feature talks by Rajeev Alur (Penn), Patrick Cousot (Ecole Normale Supierieur), John Hatcliff (Kansas State), John Mitchell (Stanford), John Reynolds (CMU) and Doug Smith (Kestrel). A preliminary program can be found by following the link at the URL http://www.math.tulane.edu/~mfps/mfps18.html Since this is a workshop year, a substantial portion of the program is given over to contributed talks, and a few slots remain open. The registration form for both meetings can be accessed directly at the URL https://math.tulane.edu/~mfps/registration Participants can make hotel reservations using this form, and also submit a title and abstract for a contributed talk at MFPS. Hotel arrangements for the meetings are at a reduced rate, and the block of rooms has been reserved only until February 13, 2002. After that date, there is no guarantee that rooms will be available, and those that are available will be at a substantially higher cost. We have some limited support available for women, minorities and graduate students who wish to attend either meeting. These funds are provided by the ONR, and we anticiapte some additional limited funds from the NSF. Best regards, Mike Mislove Michael W.
