As you may already know, the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute in
Berkeley is organizing a half-year program on Discrete and Computational
Geometry for the Fall of 2003.  The program will extend from August 11 to

colloquium, and a postdoc seminar, with the participation of a number of
senior long-term visitors as well as many visitors for shorter periods.
 
One of the major activities of the semester will be a workshop on
