		OXYGEN '96 - THE EARLY STAGES OF OXYGEN
	PRECIPITATION IN SILICON - NATO ARW - MARCH 26-29 1996
			EXETER UNIVERSITY, UK


The following mail message is an update on the current status of the
NATO ARW, Oxygen '96. Firstly, the Web site for the conference at
http://newton.ex.ac.uk/NATO/ has recently been updated, and now
includes the conference programme, a list of the participants and
details of how to reach Exeter including full train and bus timetables
from London.

1. As part of the information store on the Web, we want to include a
   full list of the abstracts, to allow delegates to read them before
   the start of the conference. However if you object to this, please
   can you email ewels@excc.ex.ac.uk before February 15th. Although
   the abstracts will be readable by anybody with access to the
   internet, in practise the Web pages have rarely been accessed by
   people not attending the workshop.

2. IF YOU HAVE NOT ALREADY RETURNED YOUR ABSTRACT, DATABASE
   REGISTRATION FORM AND PUBLICATION CONSENT FORMS THEN PLEASE DO SO
   AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. Camera ready proceedings are limited to 8
   pages for delegates, 20 pages for invited speakers. If you wish
   your MSS to be published in the NATO ASI series, then please bring
   3 copies (written in the style sent out in the instructions to
   authors) to the conference and hand them in at Registration.  The
   poster boards measure 7' x 4' (210 x 120cm). Full details of paper
   layout are available on the Web including a LaTeX template.

3. Delegates have the opportunity to go on one of three trips planned
   for Thursday afternoon. The numbers will be limited, and the trips
   are as follows:

   a. A visit to Killerton Estate near Exeter. The estate is famous
      for its spring gardens and has many trees and shrubs from around
      the world. There will be a conducted tour and numbers are
      limited to 30.

   b. A visit to Exeter Cathedral. There will be a conducted tour of
      the Cathedral, which dates back to the 12th century. Extensively
      modified over the centuries, the cathedral dominates the city
      centre and features splendid Gothic vaulting.  Again this is a
      conducted tour and numbers will be limited to about 30. In
      addition there should be time to explore the centre of Exeter, a
      city rich in history and culture. There are still many roman
      ruins in existence, as well as museums and other sites of
      interest.

   c. For more athletic people, we hope to arrange a trip to Haytor on
      Dartmoor. This is one of the two National Parks in the
      region. The park is very exposed and can be bitterly cold and
      wet in March, but is hauntingly beautiful. If you intend to take
      this trip, please bring stout shoes and warm rainproof clothing.

   Please could you let us know which trip you would like to join as
   soon as possible. Further trip details as well as details of Exeter
   and other local sites of interest for delegates' families can also
   be found on the Web site.

4. If you do not have access to the Web then please let us know; we
   can either e-mail a postscript version of the pages, or send a
   paper copy by post.

Included below is a copy of the conference programme. If you have any
queries then please do not hesitate to contact us, preferably via
email to ewels@excc.ex.ac.uk or jones@excc.ex.ac.uk, alternatively by
fax on +44-1392-264111 or tel +44-1392-264134.

Meanwhile, we look forward to seeing you in March!
