Dear Colleague: Following is the list of the papers accepted by the Organizing Committee for the Chaos and Society Conference, to be held at the Universite du Quebec a Hull (Hull, Canada) on June 1-2, 1994. You can find a complete description of the conference (including registration fees and form) on the Gopher of the Universite du Quebec. You can access this server Gopher through your own client Gopher. The address to ask for is: asterix.uqss.uquebec.ca or gopher.uquebec.ca Once in the Universite du Quebec Gopher, go to item CONGRES ET COLLOQUES (which means Meetings and Conferences). There, choose item 2: CHAOS AND SOCIETY / CHAOS ET SOCIETE - ENGLISH VERSION. If you prefer the French version, choose item 1. Although the contents is not currently up to date, it will have been updated in one week or so. I also remind you that Feb. 28 is the last date to register at the special registration fee of $150 (Can.), which includes three meals, as well as the conference proceedings to be published later. (We secretly hope that not too many participants will take advantage of this bargain.)
