CALENDAR OF AMS MEETINGS
THIS CALENDAR lists all meetings which have been approved by the Council pnor to the date this issue of the Nouces was sent to press. The summer and annual meetings are joint meetings of the Mathematical Association of America and the Ameri· can Mathematical Society. The meeting dates which fall rather far in the future are subject to change; this is particularly true of meetings to which no numbers have yet been assigned. Programs of the meetings will appear in the issues indicated below. First and second announcements of the meetings will have appeared in earlier issues. ABSTRACTS OF PAPERS presented at a meeting of the Society are published in the journal Abstracts of papers presented to the American Mathematical Society in the issue corresponding to that of the Notices which contains the program of the meet ing. Abstracts should be submitted on special forms which are available in many departments of mathematics and from the office of the Society in Providence. Abstracts of papers to be presented at the meeting must be received at the headquarters of the Society in Providence, Rhode Island, on or before the deadline given below for the meeting. Note that the deadline for ab stracts submitted for consideration for presentation at special sessions is usually three weeks earlier than that specified below. For additional information consult the meeting announcement and the list of organizers of special sessions.

233 PROGRAM OF THE SESSIONS
The time limit for each contributed paper in the AMS general sessions is ten minutes. In the special sessions the time varies from session to session and within sessions. To maintain the schedule, the time limits will be strictly enforced. Abstracts for papers presented in AMS sessions at this meeting will be found in the April 1980 issue of Abstracts of papers presented to the American Mathematical Society. Numbers in parentheses following the listings below indicate the order in which the abstracts are printed in that journal. For papers with more than one author, an asterisk follows the name of the author who plans to present the paper at the meeting.

263 Committee on the Agenda for Business Meetings The Society has a Committee on the Agenda for Business Meetings. The purpose is to make Business Meetings orderly and effective. The committee does not have legal or administrative power. It is intended that the committee consider what may be called "quasi-political" motions. The com mittee has several possible courses of action on a proposed motion, including but not restricted to (a) doing nothing; (b) conferring with supporters and opponents to arrive at a mutually accepted amended version to be circulated in advance of the meeting; (c) recommending and planning a format for debate to suggest to a Business Meeting; (d) recommending referral to a committee; (e) recommending debate followed by referral to a committee. There is no mechanism that requires automatic submission of a motion to the committee. However, if a motion has not been submitted through the committee, it may be thought reasonable by a Business Meeting to refer it rather than to act on it without benefit of the advice of the committee. The committee consists of Marion B. Pour-EI, David A. Sanchez, Barnet M. Weinstock, and .Guido L. Weiss, with the secretary as chairman. In order that a motion for the Business Meeting of August 21, 1980, receive the service to be offered by the committee in the most effective manner, it should have been in the hands of the secretary by July 21, 1980.

AN ANNOUNCEMENT will be published in the Notices if it contains a call for papers, and specifies the place, date, subject {when applicable), and the speakers; a second full announcement will be published only if there are changes or necessary additional information. Once an announcement has appeared, the event will be briefly noted in each issue until it has been held and a reference will be given in parentheses to the month, year and page of the issue in which the complete information appeared. IN GENERAL, announcements of meetings held in North America carry only date, title of meeting, place of meeting, names of speakers {or sometimes a general statement on the program), deadline dates for abstracts or contributed papers, and source of further information. Meetings held outside the North American area may carry more detailed information. All communications on special meetings should be sent to the Editor of tht.

Typically, others. The reader will not find motivations drawn the elaboration of new theoretical structures has mo- from number theory, as is usual for most of the ex- tivated a search for new algorithms compatible with tremal graph problems, or from such refinements of those structures. Rather than the arduous and sys- old riddles as the four-color problem and the Ham- tematic study of every new concept definable with a iltonian tour. Instead, Golumbic has selected prac- graph, the main task for the mathematician is to tical problems that occur in operations research, eliminate the often arbitrary and cumbersome defini- scheduling, econometrics, and even genetics of ecol- tions, keeping only the "deep" mathematical prob- ogy ....

Contemporary Mathematics CALL FOR PAPERS The AMS is starting a new soft-cover book series that will be published in the shortest possible time after receipt of an accepted manuscript. The cost will be kept very low so that copies can be afforded by individuals. The series can include proceedings of a conference, whether or not sponsored by the Society, or lecture notes submitted by an individual author. As is the case with the proceedings of certain symposia, camera-ready copy for the papers may be prepared either by the authors or the Society. In the former case the Society will pay a typing fee of $5 or more per page, depending upon the number of lines to the inch, and will provide model paper and typing instructions. The manuscripts will be refereed by an editorial board, with proceedings of a conference being regarded as a unit. Acceptance might therefore precede a conference and be based upon the identity of the sponsor or organizing com mittee. Typescripts or preprints of papers for this new series should be submitted to Professor James Milgram, Department of Mathematics, Stanford University, Stanford, California 94305, for transmission to the editors. 312 & =-··~ 11\Jt-=_p;p :z I NORTH-HOLLAND PUBLISHING COMPANY ~ ..!i '5 FVE "= _-F_, ==.s i 52 Vanderbilt Ave ..
