Dear Forum Members,

as part of the European Summer on Computational Group Theory, a workshop

``Computational methods for permutation and matrix groups''

will be held from May 26, 1997 -- June 1, 1997 in Aachen.
The workshop starts at May 26 (Monday) afternoon. In the first three
days, a tutorial is given about matrix and permutation group computations
with GAP, and about the most important features of GAP 4 which changed
compared to Version 3. From Thursday to Saturday (including a full
program on Saturday), research talks (both about the development of
algorithms and applications) are planned.
As further details of the program become available, the conference
homepage at

http://www.math.rwth-aachen.de/~Akos.Seress/Workshop97.html

will be updated. Although the deadline for registration expired last
Saturday, we have some space left. If interested, please send an
email to Akos.Seress@math.rwth-aachen.de by the evening of
Thursday, March 20.

Finances: no registration fee. Limited support toward local expenses
in Aachen is available.
