ALIYA IN SCIENCE Newsletter

Over the next 5 years, between 2500 and 12500 Immigrant scientists
are expected to come to Israel. This wave of immigration is a
challenge to the Israeli academia. What role can Israeli academia play
to help absorb these new immigrants?  How can positions be found for
all these scientists, positions becoming of their skills and at the same
time which strengthen the Israeli research community. Where will the
funding come from? How can one best help with the absorption of this
wave of Aliya.

This newsletter will hopefully disseminate information relevant to
Aliya in the Israel, among those who are interested in the subject.
The newsletter will distribute information on important meetings and
events. It will give news on what is going on. Most important, it
will encourage an ongoing dialogue between the tens of different
committees and the hundreds of enthusiastic indivduals, who are interested
in helping.

This newsletter will distribute C.V.s of OLIM scientists, but will
concentrate on policies affecting ALIYA. We are currently working
on a proposal which will distribute the C.V. to the scientists according
to their interest. Any other system would threaten to flood people
with information and would thus not de desirable.

Newsletter of the International Linear Algebra Society

   ILAS  -  The  International  Linear  Algebra  Society  -   was
constituted during the Combinatorial Matrix  Analysis  Conference
in Victoria, May 1987. The general goal of ILAS is  to  encourage
activities in linear algebra.

   ILAS  aims  to  encourage  and  support  existing  groups  and
individuals active in organizing meetings and publications in all
aspects of linear algebra. We have no intention of supplanting or
competing with existing  organizations,  our  entire  purpose  is
international co-ordination, to assist the development of  linear
algebra. We may add new activities where and when  desirable.  We
welcome activities in all applications of linear algebra  and  we
desire  a  proper  share  for  theoretical  matrix  analysis  and
abstract linear algebra.

   ILAS initiates, encourages  and  co-ordinates  linear  algebra
meetings, and supports them  by  the  means  available,  such  as
information delivery. ILAS Inaugural Meeting took place in Provo,
Utah, USA, on August 12-15, 1989. ILAS is also sponsoring several
other linear algebra conferences.

   ILAS edits and distributes a  bulletin  (named  IMAGE),  which
serves as a stage  for  discussions  and  opinions.  It  contains
essays related to linear algebra  activities,  as  well  as  some
information about various activities  including  publicity  about
future meetings, about new papers accepted by the linear  algebra
journals, about recently written theses,  and  about  individuals
(new positions,  sabbaticals,  leaves  etc.).  It  also  contains
letters to the editor or signed columns of opinion. Contributions
for  IMAGE  should  be  sent  to  Steve  Leon    (E-mail address:
SLEON@UMASSD.EDU)

   ILAS also operates ILAS-NET, an electronic  news  service.  We
transmit announcements of ILAS  activities  and  circulate  other
notices of interest to linear algebraists.     Announcements  for
ILAS- NET or request to be on  the  mailing  list  for  ILAS-NET,
should  be   sent   to   Danny   Hershkowitz   (E-mail   address:
mar23aa@technion.bitnet). Subscription to ILAS-NET is independent
of membership in ILAS and is free.

   More details will provided upon request by   Danny Hershkowitz
(MAR23AA@TECHNION.BITNET), the secretary of ILAS.

Listname: ITEX-L@TAUNIVM
Size    :  16 members
Owner   : FISHB@ILJCT
Description:
The Israel Technology EXchange, ITEX, is a synthesis of modern communications
and information science allowing Israeli scientists to exploit more
effectively the considerable effort and investment already made in R & D.

The objectives of ITEX are as follows:
  - To establish a single computerized forum for research and development,
      linking academia, industry and government.
  - To encourage the collection and distribution of information and data
      on Israeli research and technological activities.
  - To maintain professional newsletters and moderated discussion groups on
      scientific and technological as well as marketing and investment issues.

ITEX uses networking to provide the services of professional societies and
newsletters at a fraction of the cost of conventional means. The newsletters
carry announcements about events and funding possibilities. There is also a
feature called the Applications/Technology Exchange (A/TE). Applications
scientists publicize their needs and problems as a technological challenge to
scientists working in development; development scientists post their latest
achievements with inquiries as to their applicability.  This Exchange
is a major thrust of ITEX.

This list and discussion group is for people interested in ITEX, including,
though not exclusively, participants in ITEX itself.  It will be used to
distribute notices of information available in and about ITEX and about
technology transfer, but not the files themselves.  This will avoid
network overload.  Anyone wanting a particular file can request it
from LISTSERV.  This list is to be a forum and information resource
about ITEX, about usage of the international academic research
newsletters, and about networking in general.  Your participation,
thoughts and suggestions are what will make it work.

             The Global Jewish Information Network Project

    Jewishnt at BGUVM is a discussion forum on all things
    concerning the establishment of the Global Jewish Information
    Network.

    Today's technology allows us to envision and implement projects
    that a short decade ago were no more than mere dreams. One dream
    that may come true is a computerized network used to connect all
    of the Jewish communities around the world, allowing them to
    share data, knowledge and experience in an effort to multiply and
    cement the ties that bind the Jewish people together.

    The Government of Israel through the Ministry of Communications
    decided to begin the steps leading to the creation of this
    computerized network. The network will cater specifically to the
    information and communication needs of the Jewish communities all
    over the world. This network will be readily accessible from
    every Jewish congregation, institute, school and home and will
    provide the following services:

    * Worlwide Electronic Mail facilities
    * Jewish Directories and Nameservers
    * Easy access to Jewish databases
    * Electronic newspapers, Bulletin Boards and conferences
    * Access to libraries of software on Jewish subjects
    * Jewish educational services
    * A Jewish Electronic University

    People with interests in these and related areas are invited to
    join the discussion. We expect to be able to enjoy their
    knowledge, accumulated experience and goodwill.
