Dear Colleagues The Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering is publishing a special issue on subjects related to bialgebras. I am a guest editor handling such papers with a categorical emphasis. If you are planning to write a paper in the area in the next half year, or have one ready for submission, please consider answering the call for papers below. Best wishes, Ross THE ARABIAN JOURNAL FOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING Call for Papers: Theme Issue on Interactions of Algebraic & Coalgebraic Structures (Theory and Applications) The editorial board of the “Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering (AJSE)” plans to publish in December 2008, an issue which contains the latest developments in the theory and applications of “Algebraic & Coalgebraic Structures” and their interactions. The aim is to produce a collection of papers on the subject from diverse disciplines and areas of interest, including: • Algebras and Coalgebras • Hopf Algebras • Corings and Comodules • Bialgebroids & Hopf Algebroids • Quantum and Lie Groups • Non-commutative Geometry • Categorical Aspects • Applications in Physics • Applications in Logic, Universal Algebra & Computer Science LEAD TECHNICAL EDITOR Jawad Abuhlail Department of Mathematics and Statistics, KFUPM, Dhahran, KSA TECHNICAL EDITOR Salah-Eddine Kabbaj Department of Mathematics and Statistics, KFUPM, Dhahran, KSA GUEST EDITORS Gabriella Böhm Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics, Budapest, Hungary Tomasz Brzezinski Department of Mathematics, University of Wales, Swansea, UK Peter Gumm Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, Phillips Universität, Marburg, Germany Ross Street Mathematics Department, Macquarie University, New South Wales, Australia Robert Wisbauer Mathematisches Institut, Heinrich-Heine Universität, Düsseldorf, Germany PUBLICATION SCHEDULE Deadline for Submission: June 1st, 2008 Publication of Theme Issue: December 31st, 2008 SUBMISSION OF MANUSCRIPTS: Submissions are accepted for review with the understanding that they have not been published or submitted elsewhere.
