The symposium is generously supported by the National Science Foundation and the Department of Mathematics at the University of Houston. It will consist of a five-day conference on topics in Operator Algebras and Operator Theory that will feature both invited speakers and contributed talks. This conference is supported in part by the Institute for Mathematics and its Applications (IMA) through its Participating Institution (PI) Program. PI members may use IMA/PI funds to support personnel s travel to this conference.
