the case of a set, at least one member of the set) in the open
literature during the interval 1993-1996; and (3) it must be written
in English, or have an accurate English translation available.
The contribution will be judged according to: (1) the extent to which

simplifies or unifies the existing theory or methodology; (3) the new
areas of application that it opens; and (4) the clarity and
