This is a BIG NEWS message, so eyes peeled and here we go.

Next Wednesday (7 October) the School of Computing will be hosting a
visit by Professor Jeffrey Ullman of Stanford University and Google
fame. He will give a talk and seminar (see below for further details).

This is a SICSA event for the Scottish Computer Science community.
Seats for the two events can be reserved by contacting
DHelson at ed.ac.uk but space is limited so a rapid response is advised.
While the events are aimed primarily at researchers (staff, RAs, PhD
students) there may be some spaces available for students on taught
courses also, depending on demand.

Best Regards,

John Arnott.
