There will be roughly five invited speakers and no contributed talks.
There is no registration fee, but pre-registration is encouraged.  All are 
welcome to attend.

This meeting belongs to an ongoing series of one-day meetings in the northeast
and funding is provided by the National Security Agency through the Steering

"Schemes and Spheres"
Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester, MA

This is a small 5-day, highly-focused workshop on association schemes, 
spherical codes and designs, and arrangements of points on spheres in 
real and complex space.  There are no scheduled talks and space is 
limited. So please pre-register by sending e-mail to martin@wpi.edu if 
you are interested in participating.  Funding has been provided by 
WPI's Office of the Provost and Department of Mathematical Sciences.
