Update as of June 10, 1999:

Dear Kaspar and Carlos,

Michel Fortin and Tomas Rebollo canceled their participation in our
Symposium. Rolf Stenberg is sending his co-author Mikko Lyly.

So I have rearranged the suggested symposium organization as follows.
Can you please post this new arrangement on the web?
Do I need to resend all abstracts reorganized as below?

Clearly, now, there are three slots in the fourth session. If you do
not have any related papers, I would like to use that time to make
a round-table discussion about stabilized methods. I saw a successful
experience in Trieste along these lines, and I think this could be
attractive to the Conference participants. Let me know what you think.

Leo
