Subject: Tom Hull
I regret to inform you that Professor Tom Hull of the Computer Science
Department, University of Toronto, passed away on Thursday, August 15,
of a massive heart attack. As many of you may know, Tom had heart
problems in recent years. Although this slowed him down, it did not
prevent him from working actively and enthusiastically on several
research projects right up until the time of his death.
Tom is survived by his wife, Kae, and two daughters, Diane and Nancy.
Many of us will always remember him as a model gentleman and scholar.
If desired, remembrances may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation
of Ontario, 477 Mount Pleasant Rd., 4th Floor, Toronto, Ontario,

Subject: Mathematics Subject Classification for Optimization
The Mathematical Programming Society has set up a committee consisting
of Jose Mario Martinez (martinez@ime.unicamp.br), Lex Schrijver
(Lex.Schrijver@cwi.nl), and Mike Todd (miketodd@CS.Cornell.EDU), chair,
to provide input to Mathematical Reviews and Zentralblatt fuer Mathematik
on their proposed update of the 1991 Mathematics Subject Classification.
It is not envisioned that this will be a major update, but it needs
to incorporate new areas of research and possibly reorganize
appropriately existing areas. The committee expects to concentrate
its attention on the organization of 90CXX, mathematical programming,
but may also make suggestions on other parts of the classification,
such as 65KXX, 68QXX, 05DXX, and 90BXX.
The existing classification can be found on the world wide web at
URL http://www.ams.org/msc/, or copies may be obtained by
e-mail or regular mail from the committee members.
We welcome suggestions from the mathematical programming community,
which can be sent by e-mail to any or all of the committee members,
or by regular mail to the address below. We would appreciate receiving
input before or during the International Symposium on Mathematical
Programming to be held in Lausanne, Switzerland, in August 1997.

Subject: Meeting on Radial Basis Functions
Dear Colleague:
As you know radial basis functions are becoming widely used in neural
networks, approximations, interpolation, partial and integral
differential equations, etc. Profs. Richard Franke, Wendell Nuss,
Rolland Hardy, Supachai Sirayanone and I have been encouraged by
Robert Vichenevtsky to organize a conference on "The theory and
applications of radial basis functions", under the auspices of IMACS.
The proposed time for holding the conference is the week of August 18,
1997 at the Asilomar Conference Center.
The Asilomar Conference Center is located on the tip of the Monterey
Peninsula within a short walking distance from the beach. This center
offers conference rooms, with guest rooms and full dining services
under the American plan at a very reasonable cost. It is within a
short distance of many favorite tourist spots such as the Monterey Bay
Aquarium, Carmel-by-the-Sea, the Big Sur coastline, and Point Lobos.
Please remember summer is peak tourist time.
To reserve the Asilomar Conference Center, we require information as
soon as possible regarding the number of persons who are interested in
attending, and especially those that will definitely attend. We need
a critical mass of attendees whose registration fees will be used to
cover conference room rentals and coffee and refreshment costs. If
enough persons participate, the registration fees can be kept below
$170. You can also reserve a room at the center, or can stay
elsewhere, although there is an additional charge of $7 per day for
participants not staying at the center.
It would helpful to know whether you prefer sessions from 8AM to 12PM,
and have the rest of the day to enjoy the Monterey area, or prefer to
have longer sessions, with lunch and coffee breaks and end the
conference in a fewer number of days.

Subject: Workshop on Computational Issues in Drug Design
IMA-MSI Workshop
on Mathematical and
Computational Issues in Drug Design
April 14-18, 1997
Organizing committee:
W. Jeffrey Howe, Upjohn Laboratories, chair
Jeffrey M. Blaney, Chiron Corporation
Richard Damkoehler, Washington University
Anton J. Hopfinger, University of Illinois at Chicago
Donald G. Truhlar, University of Minnesota
Overview:
Drug research and discovery are of critical importance in human
health care and are becoming increasingly expensive, while the
need for new drugs is also increasing. Computational
approaches for drug lead discovery and optimization have proven
successful in many recent research programs. These methods
have grown in their effectiveness not only because of improved
understanding of the basic science -- the biological events and
molecular interactions that define a target for therapeutic
intervention -- but also because of advances in algorithms,
representations, and mathematical procedures for studying such
processes.
This workshop will bring together top researchers in computer-
aided drug discovery, computational chemistry, mathematics, and
computer science to present state-of-the-art research in both
the science and the underlying mathematics, and to identify new
problems for possible collaborations. General subject areas of
the workshop will include receptor-based applications such as
binding energy approximations, molecular docking, and de novo
design; non-receptor-based applications such as molecular
similarity, conformational analysis, and structural diversity;
molecular dynamics simulations and protein folding simulations;
plus related issues such as drug delivery modelling and
scientific visualization. The workshop will also focus on the
mathematical procedures and algorithms upon which the
scientific applications are based. These include graph theory
and topology, non-linear multidimensional optimization, the
processing and representation of information obtained from
simulation studies, global optimization and search strategies,
plus performance enhancement through parallel computing
architectures.
Further information about this conference will be available at
http://www2.msi.umn.edu/Symposia/Drug_design.html. If you wish
