The aim of this conference is to describe recent advances, and define the fundamental open problems in the field through a mixture of expository and technical lectures. There will be twenty-one main lectures, on a variety of topics in the area. This meeting has been funded by grants from Hewlett-Packard and the National Science Foundation. The following mathematical scientists have agreed to speak: John Baez (Math, UC Riverside) Marshall Bern (Xerox PARC) Anders Bjorner (Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm) Tamal Dey (CS, Ohio State) Herbert Edelsbrunner (CS, Duke) David Eppstein (CS, UC Irvine) Michael Freedman (Microsoft) Philippe Gaucher (CNRS, Strasbourg) Eric Goubault (Commissariat a l'Energie Atomique, France) Jean Goubault-Larrecq (ENS Cachan) Marco Grandis (Dip. di Mat., Genova) Jeremy Gunawardena (HP BRIMS) John Harer (Math, Duke) Joel Hass (Math, UC Davis) Maurice Herlihy (CS, Brown) Reinhard Laubenbacher (Math, NMSU) Laszlo Lovasz (Microsoft) Vaughan Pratt (CS, Stanford) Christian Reidys (Los Alamos National Lab) Bernd Sturmfels (Math, UC Berkeley) Noson Yanofsky (CS, Brooklyn College) The organizers for this meeting are: Gunnar Carlsson, gunnar@math.stanford.edu Rick Jardine, jardine@uwo.ca We ask that all participants register for the meeting. The latest information and all registration forms are available at the Stanford Conference Web Site (http://math.stanford.edu/atmcs/index.htm). A limited amount of time at the meeting will be devoted to short talks by conference participants. If you would like to give a short presentation, please send an abstract to gunnar@math.stanford.edu. There will be a volume of proceedings for the conference, to appear in the journal "Homology, Homotopy and Applications", with Gunnar Carlsson as senior editor. Submissions for this volume should be set in LATEX and should be sent to gunnar@math.stanford.edu, to arrive by Friday, August 17. We are interested in expository papers on particular areas of application of topology, as well as research papers. There will be housing for conference participants on the Stanford campus, at the rate of about 50.00 US per night for single accomodation: a reservation form is available at the Stanford Conference Web Site. There are also several hotels in the area - see the Stanford site for a list. Limited financial support may be available for travel and housing: please make your request when registering.
