    WITH APOLOGIES FOR DUPLICATES

    Dear colleague,
    We have just realised that our web site did not agree well with Netscape
    Navigator. We would like to inform you that everything has been fixed now
    (hopefully...), and attach, as a reminder, a copy of the call for papers.

    Looking forward to seeing you in Bertinoro.

    Best regards

    The organising committee.
