It turns out that there is already a WEB page with the desired information.
Try http://www.netlib.org/nse/cs_edu.html.

It's very easy to include your organization, too! I'm always amazed
what you can find in netlib.

Subject: Roger Apery

Roger Ap\`ery.

Professor Roger Ap\`ery , a prominent figure of the University of
CAEN (France),passed away after a prolonged illness on December 1994.
Roger Ap\`ery was born in ROUEN in 1916 of a mother of Flemisch
origin and a Greek father who had volunteered to serve in the French army
in 1914 in order to obtain French nationality.
After brilliant studies at the "Lycee Louis Le Grand" where he
distinguished himself several times in the "Concours general" , Roger Ap\`ery
was placed second among entrants at the ENS in 1936 and came first at the
"Agregation de Mathematiques".
Called up for the army in 1939 and a prisoner of war in June 1940 ,
he was released in October 1941 for health reasons. Appointed assistant
lecturer at the Sorbonne in 1942 , he joined a group of ENS students in the
French Resistance and became the leader of the National Front at the ENS.
In 1947 he defended his thesis in algebraic geometry " a l'italienne"
under the supervision of Paul Dubreil and was appointed Lecturer at Rennes
(the youngest ever in France). From 1949 until he retired in 1986 , Roger
Ap\`ery was a Professor at the University of CAEN where he created a research
team on algebra and number theory.
At the end of his career in 1977 , he made a sensational discovery
which was to make his name famous throughout the world. His proof of the
irrationality of the sum of the inverse of the cubes of integers by an
exceptionally clever method worthier of his Greek ancestors than of Bourbaki,
made him a legend.
In addition to a keen sense of provocation,Roger Ap\`ery enjoyed
playing the piano - his mother had taught him , chess,philosophy and ...
politics. Having joined the Camille Pelletan Radical Party at a young age
after the riots of 1934 , he resigned after Munich.Then , at the end of the
war,he once again became an active party member with Pierre Mendes-France.
As president of the Calvados Radical Party in the 60's he remained
active in politics until May 68. Being opposed to the reforms instituted
after 68 by Edgar Faure , he abandoned political life when he realized
University life was running against the tradition he had always upheld.

Many researchers have worked with the so-called Ap\`ery sequences to
rediscover his proof of the irrationality of Zeta(3)( See H.Cohen,A. Van Den
Poorten, E.Reyssat,F.Beukers,M.Prevost), to generalize his recurrence
relation in connexion with Numerical Analysis and Orthogonal Polynomials
( R.Askey,J.A. Wilson,A.L.Schmidt) or to study the congruence properties
of Ap\`ery numbers ( P.T.Young,Y.Mimura,I.Gessel,S.Chowla).
(From a text by Y. Hellegouarch).

Subject: An Electronic Abstract Server?

Has anyone considered setting up a listserver that would broadcast
abstracts of new results to interested recipients? One would subscribe by
giving one's name, e-mail address and the AMS classification codes
corresponding to one's areas of interest. When an abstract was received
by the server, it would be broadcast to those on the mailing list with the
corresponding classification codes. The abstract could also give the
location of the full preprint for downloading. Does such a server already
exist? If not, is there interst in setting one up? Would the na-net,
SIAM, AMS or some other group consider it? I would be interested to hear
others' opinions.

Subject: ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms

The DEADLINE for SUBMISSION of EXTENDED ABSTRACTS is JULY 14, 1995 --

Seventh Annual ACM-SIAM Symposium on Discrete Algorithms
(SODA), sponsored by ACM Special Interest Group on Algorithms and
Computation Theory and SIAM Activity Group on Discrete
Mathematics

January 28-30, 1996, Sheraton Colony Square Hotel
Atlanta, Georgia

CALL FOR PAPERS

This symposium concerns research on the use, design, and analysis
of efficient algorithms and data structures, in areas including,
but not limited to:

Combinatorial Structures; Computational Biology; Computational
Geometry; Databases and Information Retrieval; Discrete
Optimization; Graphs and Networks; Machine Learning; Number
Theory and Algebra; On-line Problems; Pattern Matching and Data
Compression; Random Structures; and Symbolic Computation.

The algorithms may be sequential, distributed, or parallel. They
may be analyzed either mathematically or by rigorous
computational experiments. In either case, the selection of
papers will be based on the extent to which the results yield new
insights for the design of efficient algorithms.

The program committee especially encourages submissions which
report on experimental and applied research. Special
consideration will be given to work that is motivated by
real-world problems. Experimental and applied papers are expected
to show convincingly that the algorithms or data structures
discussed are useful and efficient in a practical setting.

Subject: Postdoc Position at University Greenwich, London

Applications are invited for an EPSRC-funded Fellowship in the
Nano-Science Simulation Group to investigate a multi-level,
unified, modelling of fracture physics in adhesive joints. Such
an approach will involve a unified, computer-based, simulation of
materials properties at the nano, micro and continuum scales.
Both deterministic and stochastic Molecular Dynamics (MD)
simulation strategies will be employed to gain insights into the
initial formation and propagation of cracks at the atomistic
level. The micro- and macro-scale behaviour of these nano-scale
cracks will be studied via continuum theories of fracture
mechanics.
Applicants should have a strong basis in the application of
atomistic and molecular simulation methodologies in materials
science/condensed matter physics and be prepared to extend their
expertise into the continuum-scale modelling of material
processes.
The post is initially for a 2 year duration, starting from
September 1995, with the possibility of further extension at the
salary of 19000 Pounds per annum.
Applications, via e-mail and fax, enclosing the curriculum
vitae, the list of publications, names and e-mail and fax numbers
