***SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS*** (New) deadline for abstract submissions: 22 May 2008 Notification
of acceptance: 5 June 2008 Deadline for registration: 15 June 2008 Conference: 7-11 July 2008 contact information: atmcs08 at lix dot polytechnique dot fr
Recent research has shown that techniques from algebraic topology adapt strikingly well in studying computational systems and other subjects within Computer Science. This third ATMCS conference hopes to bring together researchers employing geometric/topological methods in both abstract and concrete areas of computer
science. The week-long conference will feature some invited talks, several accepted talks, a poster session, and countless opportunities for informal collaboration; we plan to publish our proceedings in a refereed journal, pending approval. All authors submitting an abstract by the deadline will have an opportunity, at the least, to present a (refereed) poster at the poster session.
***SCOPE*** Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, concurrency theory, distributed computing and complexity, rewriting systems, image analysis, and sensor networks.
***INVITED SPEAKERS*** A current (and incomplete) list of plenary speakers includes:
John Baez, University of California Riverside, U.S.A. Gunnar Carlsson, Stanford University, U.S.A. Herbert Edelsbrunner, Duke University, U.S.A. Robin Forman, Rice University, U.S.A. Philippe Gaucher, University of Paris 7 and CNRS, France Marco Grandis, University of Genova,

Sincerely, The Organizing Committee of ATMCS III
Dear all:
The XX Escola de Algebra, the 20th edition of the biannual Brazilian meeting of algebraists, will take place at IMPA, Rio de Janeiro, from August 11 to 15, 2008.
The meeting is shaping up. You will see more information available at the event web page,
In particular, if you registered, you should find your name by clicking on "Registered Participants." The shown list is fed automatically from the online registrations. So, if your name is not there, and should be, please register.
We want to give
you information on accomodations, registration fees, posters and financial help:
1) Financial help: A few of you have already been promised financial help. This is as much as we can do right now, with the funds that are available to us. However, we are applying for more funds to federal and state agencies, and we expect, according to their calendar, to have answers at most by the end of June. So, by the end of June, we should start sending messages offering financial help.
2) Posters: The
deadline for submitting them was May 16. We decided to extend it to May 30. After this date, we will start taking decisions. Exceptionally, good proposals may be accepted even after May 30, but their acceptance will be subject to space and time constraints. Just remember to follow the instructions on
Being the Escola mainly a research conference,
we are looking forward to proposals that present new results or significantly new approaches to old results on relevant subjects.
3) Registration fees: They will be collected on August 10 (Sunday) and during the meeting. They may be paid by cash or check. We will take reais, dollars or euros. Checks must be Brazilian. We cannot handle credit cards. More details will be given later.
4) Accomodations: The Organizing Committee will NOT directly arrange accomodations for the participants of
the XX Escola de Algebra. You may arrange accomodations directly or, if you wish, it is possible to reserve accomodations online through a private company, "CMO Eventos". To do this, go to the web site of the meeting,
click on "Accomodations" and then on "Click here". You will find a list of hotels and their daily rates. You may
then contact "CMO Eventos" by phone or FAX, or use an online form accessible by clicking on "FOR RESERVATION." Either way, inform your full name, institution, email address, phone number, the name of the event (XX Escola de Algebra), the hotel of your choice, the type of bedroom, arrival and departure dates, and credit card information.
Just bear in mind that the arrangements you make are an agreement between you and "CMO Eventos." Neither IMPA
nor the Organizing Committee is part of this agreement. However, if something does not go well, please let us be aware of it, as we might take measures.
It is easy to find information about the listed hotels on the web. Here is additional information, concerning IMPA and the Escola, that might have some influence on your decision about accomodations:
TRANSPORTATION:
There will be NO arranged special transportation to take participants to IMPA. There is a wide range
of hotel choices, with regard to prices, location and conditions, so it is likely that the participants will spread out, making it impractical to arrange for special transportation. Also, there are regular buses and plenty (really so) of taxis.
i) The hotels in the neighborhoods of Gloria and Flamengo are close to the Bus 409 Horto route. The final stop for this bus is 200 meters from IMPA, and buses pass frequently. The fare is R$2,10. You may take the same bus on your
way back. By taxi, the fare to IMPA might be around R$20,00, depending on traffic.
ii) The hotels close to the beaches, in the neighborhoods of Copacabana, Ipanema and Leblon, are close to the Bus 125 Horto route. The final stop for this bus is 100 meters from IMPA. However, buses do not pass frequently, perhaps every half an hour in peak times, and do not seem to follow any discernible schedule. Again, the fare is R$2,10 and you may take the same bus on your way back.
By taxi, the fare to IMPA might be around R$15,00, depending on traffic.
DAILY STIPENDS:
Most of our funds, if our applications are successful, will come from federal and state sources. Because of this, MOST participants funded by us will receive per diem AT MOST the maximum allowed by CNPq, which is R$187,83. Students will very likely receive less. We do recognize that this is not much for an expensive town like Rio de Janeiro. However, there is nothing we
can do. We are letting you know about this beforehand, so that you can take this into account when planning your stay here.
Best regards, Eduardo.

The University of Colorado at Colorado Springs will host the 2008 edition of the annual Southern Regional Algebra Conference. The conference this year will in particular honor the 70th birthday and retirement of Professor K.M. Rangaswamy. We will follow the usual SRAC format of 25 minute talks. The first talk will begin at 1:30 PM on Friday September 26 and the last talk will end before noon on
Sunday September 28. As usual, there is no financial support provided by the host institution for SRAC participants. (However, supper on Friday evening will be funded by the Conference for all participants, as will a dinner on Saturday evening for participants and their families).
Registration, housing, transportation, and other pertinent information is now available at the conference website
The Third Announcement containing the conference schedule and final details will be available in early September 2008. For more information please contact the conference organizer, Gene Abrams, at abrams at math dot uccs dot edu or (719) 262-3182.
Dear Colleagues,
this is the 2nd announcement for the "International Conference on Cluster Algebras and Related Topics" December 8 - 20, 2008 in Mexico.
