Dear int-boundary colleagues,
Please find enclosed a copy of the draft program for the INSMAP
Symposium to be held at the Florida Institute of Technology in
Melbourne, Florida, 30 November - 4 December 1998.
Several sessions might be of interest to you but especially VII
and XI might be particularly relevant to your work. Please do not
hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or if I can be
of any assistance.
Please note that the paper by Yuri Kazmin in session XI is not
confirmed yet and it will be confirmed only if and when several
pending arrangements are finalised.
Regards,
Galo Carrera.
