| CONFERENCE FORMAT |
There will be approximately 30 talks of 45
minutes length each,
from the areas of integrable systems, random matrices,
spectral theory, probability and statistics, approximation
theory and number theory.
In addition we will have sessions for the presentation of
posters and for the discussion of future directions of research.
Those who wish to give a talk or to present a poster should
indicate this on the registration form, which has to be
submitted before MARCH 1, 2006.
The program of the conference will be available by the end of March.
If you have any question, please feel free to
contact us.
