INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE

on

13-19 June, 2001

Haifa, Israel

The purpose of this conference is to bring together leading experts and researchers, and to assess new developments in this very active and important field.  The conference will continue the tradition of previous fixed point theory meetings which took place in Marseilles (1989), Halifax (1991), Seville (1995) and Kazimierz Dolny (1997).
