[Yoshio Takane]

Dear Colleagues,

Thanks to you all!  I have received overwhelming responses to my
"call for papers" for my invited session at the IMPS2001, circulated
a few weeks ago. The following are tentative speakers: names, titles
of the talks, affiliations and email addresses.  

See you all there.  You can get detailed information about the meeting 
at http://www.ir.rikkyo.ac.jp

Regards,

Yoshio Takane
Professor
