Algebraic and Geometric Deformation Spaces

We are pleased to announce that  Vieweg publications has accepted to publish a proceedings for this workshop, and the workshop "Hochschild and Cyclic...", as a volume of "Aspects of Mathematics". The Vieweg volumes are widely distributed through the AMS and they can be bought by individuals and libraries through the AMS website.

The proceeding will include the papers contributed by the participants of this workshop and the previous workshop which took place in July 2007. Depending on how many articles we will receive the proceeding will have one or two volumes.

We are inviting all the participants of both workshops to send us their contributions which will be peer-reviewed. We encourage lectures series style articles or original research paper with extensive background materials.

The articles should be written using amsproc style file. More instructions can be found at http://www.ams.org/authors.

Please let us know if you wish to make a contribution and how much time you will need.
