The CSNA annual meeting is fast approaching and it's time to get abstracts submitted and colleagues/students involved. The meeting is an excellent forum for exchanging ideas on cluster and classification analysis, and we should all be supporting it by our contributions. Please don't put this off. The sooner we can organize the meeting the better it will be. Abstracts can be submitted to and requests for information can be obtained from Mike Brusco ([log in to unmask]). Please help make CSNA a strong and viable society. Thanks Bill --- William D.
