May Program

Via a separate list I received the announcement below. Don't recall seeing
it on CSG. Did I miss it?

Two meetings that might interest the training community, particularly those
affiliated with universities and other educational organizations:

years to discuss and plan research around PCT. Albert Ellis, president of the

The 1999 annual meeting of the Control Systems Group (CSG) is July 21-25 at

wants to listen and learn. A preconference workshop on Methods of Levels
will be led by William T. Powers, originator of PCT. For details, call
