                    North Atlantic Treaty Organization
                                (ARW NATO)

           ****************************************************

A NATO ARW is a meeting of two to five days' duration, involving between 20
and 50 participants. A NATO ARW is not an international conference or
symposium but rather a forum for advanced level, intensive discussions
between qualified experts from different countries, and often from
different research sectors.

Scope and Purpose: The main goal of this NATO Advanced Research Workshop is
to bring together scientists from quantum field theory, string theory and
quantum gravity with researchers in as well as experts on representation
theory of these algebras will have a stimulating effect on each side and
will lead to new developments. 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).

              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. They will be accepted during the time before and 1 month after the
Workshop.

       *************************************************************
