		     Workshop on Symbolic Dynamics
		Mathematical Sciences Research Institute
			  Berkeley, California
		         (second announcement)


As part of the fall, 1992 program on Symbolic Dynamics, MSRI will host a
five-day workshop from November 2 through 6.  The organizing committee
consists of Mike Boyle (chairman), Jack Wagoner, and Susan Williams.

The workshop is open to the scientific public; there is no registration
fee.  Activities will begin with registration at 9:00 a.m. on Monday,
November 2, 1992 and the first talk at 9:30 a.m.  There will be
refreshments at 10:30 a.m. and tea at 3:15 p.m. The sessions will be in the
Institute Lecture Hall.

The workshop will range broadly over aspects of symbolic dynamics and its
applications.  Topics are expected to include shifts of finite type, more
general subshifts and countable Markov chains, cellular automata, orbit
equivalence, actions by group automorphisms, codings of flows, zeta
functions and the trace formula, Markov partitions and tilings, connections
with language and automata theory, and problems related to efficient data
storage.

There is a shuttle bus running at half-hour intervals between MSRI and the
Mining Circle just to the east of Evans Hall. The first trip uphill is at
7:45 a.m. and thereafter on the quarter and three-quarters hours until the
last trip at 6:15 p.m. Downhill the trips leave on the hour and half-hour
with the first trip at 8:00 a.m. and the last at 6:30 p.m.  Be sure to take
the  bus labelled "Hill Service"; if in doubt, ask the driver.  There is a
charge of 50 cents and exact change is required.  There is also a bus from
downtown Berkeley (Shattuck and Center) to Evans Hall for which the fare is
25 cents, with exact change required.

All participants are invited to a wine and cheese reception at 6:00 p.m.
on Wednesday, November 4, 1992.  Details will be announced later.
