[Pat Toci]

Subject: DIMACS Special Year in Mathematical Support for Molecular
	Biology, Part II

DIMACS is pleased to announce the continuation of its "Special Year" in
Mathematical Support for Molecular Biology.

The program, begun during the 1994-95 year, will continue during 1995-96
with a series of seminars, workshops, and miniWorkshops, as well as
a postdoctoral and visitors program.

A draft calendar of events is appended.  We hope to add a few events and 
would welcome suggestions and expressions of interest in participating.
