Thank you to all who provided help and feedback in developing this program.
"Effective Data Management for New Materials Discovery:
Materials Informatics"
June 28-29, 1999 in Boston, MA
for more information see our web site: 
 http://www.knowledgefoundation.com/informatics.html
or email
[email-masked] and we will mail you a full brochure.
The conference covers many of the issues brought up in the group. Some of 
these questions include:
* How to design multiple materials databases to allow transparent acess to 
all relevant applications throughout the discovery to development phase
* How to integrate disparate application software, and provide standardized 
methods of analyzing data
* How to enlist the aid of software and systems providers
* How to best access publicly available information sources

IN addition, a special session will be held in conjunction with the 
conference to explore the establishment of an industry consortium for 
materials informatics.

Please feel free to contact me for further information.

Sincerely,
Kim
