The basic minimum work principle in editing this e-letter is that the READERS send important notes and information about symposia, conferences and workshops of dynamic games, as well as abstracts of Ph.D. theses, papers and books, which they want to be included in the newsletter. The format is described below. We hope that no retyping will be needed so please follow the instructions and sample shown below carefully. The news should be concise to keep the newsletter readable. Requests for more complete information about any news item should be directed to its contributor. We appreciate any comments and suggestions that you may have on this e-letter. Looking forward to receiving your news contributions. Raimo P. Hamalainen and Harri Ehtamo P.S.: The NEXT E-LETTER will appear already in December provided we get any news items. So, if you happen to have any, please send it to us! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Contributed by the Editors Nov 19 MODEL FOR NEWS SUBMISSIONS Maximum line length is 72 characters.

ISDG Workshop 1999, ISCHIA, Italy, July 18 to 21 According to the proposed bylaws of the ISDG the Executive Board should meet at least once a year. Consequently, starting in 1997, with the organization of the Sils Maria workshop, the society will organize every other year a workshop with limited participation. In the previous ISDG News it was announced that the 1999 workshop will take place in the Naples region in May or early June. This time was not suitable to everybody and so there was a small vote about the date. Altogether 12 votes was received, and the overriding conclusion was that we should choose July for the ISDG Workshop 99 in Italy. So, please notice that the Workshop will be held in ISCHIA, Italy, July 18 to 21, 1999. July 18 is a sunday. The idea is to hold the meeting of the EB on sunday evening, and if necessary, again on wednesday morning or noon. And have the talks in between. Jacqueline Morgan will be the organizer of that meeting, and you shall receive a formal invitation from her soon (also to appear in a forthcoming DG Newsletter). About the ISDG Symposium 2000: The next ISDSG symposium will be held in Adelaide Australia December 18-21, 2000. The location will probably be a resort on the seaside close to Kangaroo Island. The dates of the meeting have been chosen such that it can be combined with the IEEE CDC to be held in Sydney December 13-15, 2000. A. Nowak will chair the program committee and J. Filar will chair the local organizing committee. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Contributed by Josef Shinar Sep 4 Sabbaticals! ! !
