More information about the meeting can be obtained from insmath@cc.umanitoba.ca or from http://www.iims.umanitoba.ca The Symposium will feature a special emphasis on modern methods in scientific computing and linear algebra relevant to digital control and signal and image processing. There will be research and tutorial talks at the Symposium. Selected papers related to mathematical models of the problems, mathematical theories to overcome difficulties of solving such problems, and fast algorithms related to real-time or data-massive computations will appear in the special issue. The papers submitted to this special issue should correspond to talks given at the symposium. They will be screened using the usual refereeing procedure and will meet the normal publication standards of the journal. Papers submitted to this issue should be sent to one of the special editors listed below. The submission deadline is 15 September 1997. Dianne P.
