In each field there is a highly developed knowledge by experts which can only be transformed to another field by having close personal contact through discussions, talks and reports. The Workshop will promote the development of new directions in the field of modern theoretical and mathematical physics combining the efforts of scientists from NATO, East European countries and NIS (Former Soviet Union). ******************************************************************** Registration Form for the Advanced Research Workshop of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization NONCOMMUTATIVE STRUCTURES IN MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS 24-27 September 2000 Please fill out and return to: STEVEN DUPLIJ Theory Division Nuclear Physics Laboratory Kharkov National University 61077 Kharkov, Ukraine Fax: +38-0572-219818 (by demand) E-mail: steven.a.duplij@univer.kharkov.ua ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I plan to attend the ARW workshop.

B. Petrov, Yu. Ivanov .... ~~~~~~~~ Institute of Theoretical Physics, Kiev, Ukraine The main goal of this NATO Advanced Research Workshop is to discuss new trends and key scientific advances that can fuel future innovations in biosensors, to give the ground for close collaboration of the participants ... The authors would like to acknowledge the generosity of NATO in its support for this workshop . ************************************************************ Suggested Topics for Discussion: I. Novel approaches in quantum groups. II. New trends in developing supersymmetric unified models. ************************************************************* Fees: While individuals will not be charged a registration fee for the workshop there will be a charge for transportation and the social program. The cost of accommodation (including meals) for registered participants will not exceed $100 per day. Some funding is available to support presenters of select contributions. Travel and living expenses of key speakers will be covered in full. It is planned to cover living expenses of other participants from NATO and Partner countries in full. Travel expenses of other participants from NATO and Partner countries will be covered partially, within limits provided by NATO (for participants from NIS - in full). Most probably, it will be about 50-60% of the cost of air ticket in ECONOMY class. Each extra day of attendance (before 24 and after 27 September) should be paid by the participant on arrival (in cash, 100US$/day - accommodation and meals). ************************************************************* Working language of the meeting: English. ************************************************************ Proceedings: The abstracts will be published as a separate issue before the Workshop. The scientific report of ARW will be published in NATO ASI Series as a separate book by Kluwer Academic Publishers. Please think about preparation of articles till 10-15 pages in (AMS)Latex 2e now.
