        !!!!  CALL FOR PARTICIPATION  !!!!

The aim of the Summer School and Workshop, organised by the EU KIT
project SymSem, is to bring together in an informal atmosphere
researchers, working in the general area of the Semantic Foundations
of Computation.  Participation by Chinese researchers and students is
particularly encouraged.  Roughly half of the meeting will be devoted
to expositary seminars given by invited speakers. The remainder will
consist of workshop presentations chosen on the basis of submitted
abstracts.
