    The abstracts (either in plain text or in PostScript) are here.

    You can also get some related preprints.

    We ask the authors to fill in the missing information. Talk proposals are still welcome. As we have already announced, we plan to give more time per speaker (that is, a full one hour seminar instead of the usual 30 minutes lecture) if desired by the author(s), since we feel that this will better fulfill the aim of the Workshop.

    TENTATIVE ATTENDEES:

    The list is here.

    The final attendee list will be compiled after receipt of registration forms. It will be put on the Workshop's homepage and e-mailed to the attendees.

    SOCIAL PROGRAM:

  • Get-together reception
  • Opening of the Split Summer Festival on July 15, 1996.
  • Excursion, a full-day sight-seeing and bathing trip on the island of Brac 10 miles from Split. There are many possibilities to organize very interesting excursions in the vicinity of Split. The price of such excursions varies between 30-100 DEM, depending on the the number of participants, means of transportation and the meals included. Thus, we will consider your checking the appropriate item in the Registration form as the expression of interest, and not an obligation.

    EXCHANGE RATES (May 2, 1996): Here you can get the current exchange rate.

    REGISTRATION FEE:

    100 Kunas payable at the Workshop, which includes the get-together reception and the book of abstracts. Students do not pay the registration fee.

    REGISTRATION FORM:

    Here is the Registration form. Please fill it and e-mail it to ivan.slapnicar@fesb.hr by May 30, 1996.
