Peter M. Weiss (pmw1@psuvm.psu.edu) has passed along an interesting publication. Bob Cowles ("Dr. Chaos," with an M.S.) has started publishing Chaos Corner, a occasional compendium of computer-related news and telecommunications tips. (Not to be confused with Chaos Manor, Jerry Pournelle's residence.) Contact Bob (rdc@cornella.cit.cornell.edu) for a free subscription.

Neuron Digest is restarting, with 1,200 directly subscribing sites and many more through Usenet comp.ai.neural-nets. Moderator Peter Marvit (neuron-request@cattell.psych.upenn.edu) just moved to UPenn, and has yet to get the archives working. (Running a popular list can be a big job.)

AIL-L is a new AI and Law list started by David R. Warner, Jr. (warner@austin.onu.edu), Professor of Law at Ohio Northern University. To subscribe, send a "sub ail-l yourname" message to listserv@austin.onu.edu. [Neuron Digest, 10/15.]

NEWEDU-L, or New Paradigms in Education List, is a moderated Bitnet discussion of technology and information (including AI and multimedia) in education. To join, send a "sub newedu-l yourname" message to listserv@vm.usc.edu. [Greg Swan (swan@mc.maricopa.edu), PACS-L, 10/8.]

If you're into concurrent semantics, you may want to join the concurrency mailing list run by Albert Meyer. Send a note to concurrency@theory.lcs.mit.edu for info. [Mike Stannett (m.stannett@dcs.sheffield.ac.uk), connectionists, 10/4.]

Neuro-evolution is a forum for discussing genetic algorithms (GAs) and evolutionary design of artificial neural networks. Contact neuro-evolution-request@cse.ogi.edu. [Mike Rudnick (rudnick@cse.ogi.edu), connectionists, 9/12.]

Laboratory PC User is a newsletter helping people capture lab data and analyze it using commercial tools (such as Lotus 1-2-3).

Todd Wipke (wipke@secs.ucsc.edu), 9/14.] Dr. Glenn Ouchi, the editor-in-chief, was Todd's student. The newsletter hasn't covered AI data analysis techniques yet; I'm sure Glenn would like to get articles about them.

Systems Automation: Research and Applications (SARA) will cover systems aspects of automation, including data management, AI, and robotics, for the International Society for Productivity Enhancement (ISPE). Dr. Biren Prasad, Editor-in-Chief, (313) 661-1838. Ablex Publishing, $95 institutional. [Peiya Liu (liu@demon.siemens.com), comp.robotics, 9/18.]
