Number 15

April 1999 - June 1999

This Newsletter presents you the principal events concerning ALADIN during the quarter of year mentioned above. The news about work or events outside Toulouse are related with informations that you sent (for disponibility constraints, the "deported" work deals with the previous quarter).

So, reading this Newsletter, you will know everything about ALADIN activities (more precisely everything I was told about) between April 1999 and June 1999 (except for the work realized outside Toulouse : between January and March 1999).

Please do bring to my notice anything that you would like to be mentioned in the next Newsletter (number 16) before the 25th of September 1999.

Any contribution concerning announcements, publications, news from the ALADIN versions on workstations or on big computers, verifications results, ... will be welcome. This deadline is particularly important for the report of the deported work each representative should sent every quarter.

If needed, please contact :
