           2nd International Workshop on Shape and
          Pattern Matching in Computational Biology

                    CANCELLATION NOTICE
**********************************************************************

Due to health related problems, Dr. Wolfson and Dr. Califano have
been unable to properly follow this year's workshop organization for
several months. This has resulted, among other problems, in
fewer paper submissions than last year. Therefore, the committee feels
that it would be impossible to select the number of papers required
for a successful workshop without compromising on the standards of
quality that we had previously set for paper acceptance.
Therefore, we have no options but canceling this year's workshop.
We apologize for any inconvenience this decision might cause and we
look forward to a more succesfull edition in '96.
The original papers have been returned to the authors.
