Series at the workshop (pp. 2-15 of the mentioned proceedings volume). This conference was one of the last to which G.W.S. could participate and indeed, back in England, he wrote to one of us (M.I.): "it will probably turn out to have been the last scientific conference in which I was an active participant".
