Centre for Geriatric Care is fully affiliated with the
University of Toronto and provides a comprehensive range of
inpatient and outpatient services to the elderly in
Behavioural Neurology, Geriatric Medicine, Psychiatry,
Psychology, Speech Pathology and other therapeutic services.

                    1993 Annual Meeting
          Twenty-fifth Anniversary of the Society
                      June 24-26, 1993
                       Pittsburgh, PA

     The 1993 annual meeting of the CSNA will be held on the
campus of the University of Pittsburgh, starting Thursday
evening, June 24 and continuing until Saturday afternoon,
June 26.  The purpose of the annual meeting is to provide a
forum for presentation and cross-disciplinary discussion of
data-oriented approaches related to classification and
understanding of complex data structures.

     This meeting marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the
CSNA.  Invited sessions will feature the application areas
of Numerical Taxonomy, Numerical Ecology, Molecular Biology,
and Information Retrieval.  The program will also include
plenary talks by invited speakers and symposia on Neural
Network, Genetic Algorithm, Multivariate Density Estimation and
Visual Clustering approaches to classification.  As in the past,
there will be invited and contributed papers by CSNA members,
non-members and students in the areas of cluster analysis,
multidimensional scaling and related methods of exploratory
data analysis and their use in applications. The programs
for previous meetings can be found in the Journal of
Classification.  Because of the informal nature of the
meeting, speakers often present research that is currently
in progress.

     The meeting will be preceded by optional short courses
on Classification and Clustering and on Multivariate Density
Estimation and Visual Clustering on Thursday, June 24.

     We are interested in soliciting presentations in all
areas of the scientific study of classification and
clustering.  Persons wishing to present a talk, propose a
symposium, or request information about local arrangements,
should contact
    Stephen C. Hirtle
    Department of Information Science
    University of Pittsburgh
    Pittsburgh, PA 15260, U.S.A.
    tel: (412) 624-9434
    fax: (412) 624-5231
    email: csna93@lis.pitt.edu

     Paper submissions must be on a single page and include
the following: the title of the talk; the name,
institutional affiliation, mailing address and electronic
mail address (if available) of each author; an abstract of
not more than 200 words; and a list of a few keywords to
help classify the paper.  Please identify the presenter in
the case of multiple authors.

     If possible, each submission should be classified
according to one of following areas: applications,
classification, clustering, exploratory data analysis, graph
theory, graphics and visualization, latent class models,
multidimensional scaling, network models, numerical
taxonomy, pattern recognition, statistical methods, or other
(please specify).  Abstracts will be due March 15, 1993.
Submission via electronic mail is encouraged.

    Contributed papers will be allotted 20 minutes,
including discussion, unless otherwise approved by the
Program Committee.  Abstracts will be distributed to
conference attendees, but no other proceedings will be
published.  Some papers may be published later in the
Journal of Classification.

     Herman P. Friedman, president of CSNA, will be the co-
chair of the program committee along with Stephen C. Hirtle.
Local support for the meeting will be provided by the School
of Library and Information Science at the University of
Pittsburgh.

THE ANTHROPOLOGY OF CONSCIOUSNESS:
CALL FOR PAPERS

Dr. Charles Laughlin has been named as the new editor of The
Anthropology of Consciousness, the refereed journal of the
Society for the Anthropology of Consciousness, a section of the
American Anthropological Association.  AOC is now issuing a call
for papers among anthropologists, psychologists and others doing
interdisciplinary research and theory relevant to the
anthropology of consciousness.

AOC will continue to publish articles and book reviews in all
areas of the anthropology of consciousness, including:  ASCs,
trance and visions, psychotropic drugs, meditation techniques,
ritual and other religious techniques for altering states of
consciousness, psychotherapies, healing, psi phenomena, hypnosis,
shamanism, anomalous and transpersonal experiences, near-death
and after-death experiences, evolution of consciousness, etc.

The journal also hopes to broaden the scope of submissions, both
in terms of contributions by scholars outside of the parent
society, and in substantive areas of research and thinking not
yet covered in the pages of AOC.  It is hoped that those writing
from interdisciplinary perspectives in the neurosciences,
philosophy, comparative religion, and transpersonal psychology
will consider publishing in the journal.

Authors may send four copies of manuscripts to:
