Apologies for Multiple Notices! Dear Colleagues, This is the Second Announcement and Call for Participation for two events. The first is the 2002 Clifford Lectures, which will take place on the campus of Tulane University, New Orleans, LA USA from the afternoon of March 20, 2002 through the morning of March 23, 2002. This annual series of lectures is sponsored by the Tulane Mathematics Department, and this year's lecturer is Sergei N. Artemov (CUNY Graduate Center). Professor Artemov will deliver three lectures, and there also will be lectures by Samson Abramsky, Henk Barendregt, Samuel Buss, Nachum Derschowitz, Yuri Gurevich, Joshua Guttman, Juris Hartmanis, Dexter Kozen, Rohit Parikh, Helmut Schwichtenberg and Moshe Vardi. More information can be found at http://www.math.tulane.edu/~mfps/clifford.html A program will be posted there when details are available. The second event is the Eighteenth Workshop in the Mathematical Foundations of Programming Semantics, MFPS XVIII. This event also will be held at Tulane, and it will begin on the afternoon of Saturday, March 23 and run through Tuesday, March 26. This year's meeting will feature invited talks by Rajeev Alur, Patrick Cousot, John Hatcliff, John Mitchell, John Reynolds and Doug Smith, as well as four special sessions. In addition, contributed talks from participants are invited - available slots will be allocated on a first come, first served basis. More information about the meeting - including a detailed list of the special sessions, can be found at the URL http://www.math.tulane.edu/~mfps/mfps18.html A program will be posted when details are available. 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 funding from the NSF. Participants can register online for either one or both of these meetings by going to the URL https://math.tulane.edu/~mfps/registration The registration form allows participants to reserve hotel rooms, and also to submit a title and short abstract for a proposed contriibuted 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. Best regards, Mike Mislove Michael W.
