Subject: [0] How to Subscribe to a Mailing List

To be added or deleted to any of the mailing lists described in this
post, send mail to the -request version of the list except where
otherwise noted. This sends mail to the list maintainer, instead of
annoying the membership of the entire mailing list. To subscribe to
one of the BITNET listserv forums, send mail there which contains a
line of the form
    SUB <forum-name> <your-full-name>
as the first and only line in the body of the message. To unsubscribe
to a ListServ list, send
    UNSUB <forum-name>
or
    SIGNOFF <forum-name>
instead.

For Lisp-related mailing lists, see part 4 of the FAQ for the
newsgroup comp.lang.lisp.

   Calls for papers, paper announcements and queries are welcome.

   Techniques which were originally developed to model psychological and
   biological processes are now receiving considerable attention as tools
   for modelling and understanding economic and financial processes.
   These techniques, which include neural networks, genetic algorithms
   and expert systems are now being used in a wide variety of
   applications including the modelling of economic cycles, modelling of
   artificial economies, portfolio optimisation and credit evaluation.

   To be added to the list, send mail to [e-mail]. An
   archive of back issues of the digest, as well as papers,
   bibliographies and software, may be obtained by anonymous ftp from
   cs.ucl.ac.uk:/ie/ [128.16.5.31].
