The organizers of this Special Session are Keith Kearnes, Agnes Szendrei and Walter Taylor. The Special Session is announced at http://e-math.ams.org/amsmtgs/2099_special.html Officially, this is a Joint Central and Western Section Meeting of the AMS, Meeting #989. It will take place on the campus of the University of Colorado, Boulder. The exact dates are October 2-4, 2003. (Thursday, Friday and Saturday). The University itself will be on Fall Break during this period. It is almost always a beautiful time to be in Colorado. It should be noted that we (Kearnes, Szendrei and Taylor) are organizing only the mathematical program of the Special Session (its 20-minute talks, and any social event that might be planned for our group). All other aspects of the meeting (the overall calendar, hour speakers, audiovisual needs, room assignments, coffee breaks, most special events, registration and fees, hotel arrangements, and so on), are handled by the AMS through a local organizing committee. We would very much like to hear from you if you are interested in attending this meeting, and especially if you would like to give a 20-minute talk. Our Session will consist mostly of twenty-minute talks. We have been allotted time for about 22 such speakers -- fewer if one or two talks are extended to 30 minutes. Therefore, in the case of an enthusiastic response, the organizers will need to make a selection from among those submitted. In order to help people with planning, we will make a first selection by the first of April, 2003. A further announcement will occur about that time, indicating whether there is any room for further submissions. Therefore, if you would like to speak, we ask you to send us a title and a rough or tentative abstract, well prior to April 1, 2003. Participants are advised, that IN ORDER TO BE INCLUDED IN THE PROGRAM, THEY MUST ALSO SUBMIT AN ABSTRACT (for publication) DIRECTLY TO THE AMS prior to the deadlines announced here: http://e-math.ams.org/amsmtgs/2099_deadlines.html This submission may be done on the web; please consult http://e-math.ams.org/amsmtgs/2099_special.html AMS rules require abstracts to be of unpublished work. The standard audiovisual equipment made available to speakers by the AMS consists of one overhead projector and one screen. (Moreover, one may safely assume that an assigned classroom at CU will have a blackboard.) Beyond this, we don't know at this point what will be available to us. If you will be needing any equipment beyond the AMS standard, please let us know. Until we know further how things shape up, we cannot make any guarantees, but we will do what we can. Neither the organizers nor the AMS have access to any funds to defray any costs associated with attending the meeting. All attendees (including speakers) are expected to pay the usual registration fee. This announcement will be posted and e-mailed to a number of sources (notably the Algebra Universalis web-available list, and the yahoo list maintained by Bill Rowan), but obviously some people somewhere will be missed. We urge you to share the announcement with anyone you think might have missed it. Please add the announcement to any electronic bulletin board where it seems appropriate. For an announcement of the Meeting, with links (or planned links) to a list of invited speakers, schedules, and so on, see http://e-math.ams.org/amsmtgs/2099_program.html We sincerely hope to see you here in Boulder, October, 2003.
