This was submitted to me for approval to go out on the list. It is not
about pragmatics but I think it is closely enough related to be of
interest.
Feel free to let me know if you think it is too off-topic, so I can
judge the interests of list members and avoid sending out emails you may
regard as spam - emails to my personal address, not the list, please.

> FSKD'02, ICONIP'02, and SEAL'02 will be jointly held in Orchid Country
> Club, Singapore from November 18 to 22, 2002. The conferences will not
> only feature the most up-to-date research results in fuzzy systems,
> knowledge discovery, natural and artificial neural systems, and evolu-
> tionary computation, but also promote cross-fertilization over these
> exciting and yet closely-related areas. Registration to any one of the
> conferences will entitle a participant to the technical sessions and
> the proceedings of all three conferences, as well as the conference
> banquet, buffet lunches, and tours to two of the major attractions in
> Singapore, i.e., Night Safari and Sentosa Resort Island. Many well-
> known researchers will present keynote speeches, panel discussions,
> invited lectures, and tutorials.
>
> About Singapore
> ---------------
> Located at one of the most important crossroads of the world,
> Singapore is truly a place where East and West come together. Here you
> will find Chinese, Indian, and Malay communities living together,
> their long established cultures forming a unique backdrop to a clean
> and modern garden city. English is spoken everywhere and is the common
> business language of all. Few places on earth promise such a delight
> for the palate, with gourmet cuisine from over 30 countries. Exotic
> resorts in neighboring countries are only a short bus/ferry ride away.
>
> Orchid Country Club (OCC)
> -------------------------
> The venue for this year's conferences is at one of Singapore's
> premier country clubs, a 25-minute bus ride from the city. Away from
> the hustle and bustle of downtown Singapore, the tranquil setting of
> the resort is ideal for serious technical discussions with an
> accommodating space and ambience for relaxation. Not to miss out on
> the splendor of downtown Singapore, the organizer has also secured
> good quality and affordable accommodation in the heart of the city
> with pre-arranged transport to/from the OCC. For golf enthusiasts,
> OCC is equipped with the largest computerized driving range in South
> East Asia and boasts of a 27-hole golf course with facilities for
> night golfing, ideal for relaxation after each day of technical
> discussions.
>
> Night Safari and Sentosa Resort Island
> --------------------------------------
> It is said that a visit to Singapore is not complete without making
> a trip to two of the Republic's famous attractions. The only one of
> its kind in the world, the Night Safari provides a setting for
> visitors to experience what it is like to observe animals in their
> nocturnal habitat. The island of Sentosa offers some unique
> attractions and a visit there will also provide a glimpse and
> imagery of Singapore's past and present. Visits to these two
> attractions will be included as recreation for the joint conference.
