Prohaska Stuart Macmillan AI-MEDICINE@VUSE.VANDERBILT.EDU ai-medicine is an unmoderated mailing list serving internet and bitnet domains since Sept. 1990. Current readership consists mainly of computer scientists and engineers with interest in biomedical and clinical research, and of physicians with interest in medical informatics. AI in Medicine is a broad subject area which encompasses almost all research areas in artificial intelligence. For the purposes of this mailing list, AI in Medicine may be defined as "computed-based medical decision support" (or "computer-assisted medical decision making"). This definition may be expanded to include AI-based approaches to computer-assisted medical instruction. According to this definition, topics such as billing systems and hospital/medical office information retrieval systems clearly remain outside the scope of this forum. There are some borderline topics which cannot readily be classified under AI in Medicine, yet have clear connections to both artificial intelligence and medical practice. Processing and interpretation of medical images and signals are among those subject areas, and the current readership of this list contains a substantial number of researchers working in these fields. These borderline subject areas will remain within the scope of the list, as long as the focus lies on the artificial intelligence aspects, and not the detailed engineering principles. Who may join: any individual or organization with internet or bitnet mailing addresses may join.

Therefore, all topics having to do with music are welcome, including but not limited to: composition, performance, recording; research, critique, inquiry, advocacy, instrument design, ethnomusicology, psychacoustics, orchestration, jazz, classical, funk, plainchant, and anything else you can think of. If a topic is running that you have something to say about, or to question, jump in. If you have something entirely different in mind, start up another thread. Music is universal. With the advent of electronic communication, so are we. To be added to or deleted from the list, send mail to the Coordinator.

Mail archives are kept on host WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL as TOPS20 mail files named yymm.n-TXT, where n starts with one and increments by one into another file as each file reached 150 disk pages. To conserve disk space, all the mail files in the archive, except for the current year, are individually compressed. The compressed files have the suffix -Z as part of the filetype field; they should be renamed to have the suffix .Z (uppercase Z) when transfered to a Unix system so the uncompress program will find them. The current month's mail is still kept in AMETHYST-ARCHIV.TXT. The archives are stored in directory: PD2: Archive files are available via ANONYMOUS FTP from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL for those with TCP/IP access to the Internet.

Scholars interested in the later English Middle Ages and those interested in the early Medieval period throughout Europe are also encouraged to join the list. Members receive a directory of all our members in order to facilitate telecommunications, and a monthly electronic report to which they are encouraged to contribute announcements and information. This report often provides members with new information about the use of computers in some aspect of their disciplines, as well as news of more conventional developments in the field. We also have projects underway to encode databases which members may use in their own work. To this end, we are now working on the details of distributing to the membership a database of all manuscripts written or owned in England before 1100. We would be glad to add your name to our directory and thus to make you a member of ANSAXNET. Membership is free to everyone with access to a BITNET node. Anyone who wants to be a member of ANSAXNET should send e-mail to the Coordinator, including a conventional mailing address and some information about your particular interests in early medieval cultural studies.

(from the header: Ted White ) ARACHNET@acadvm1.uottawa.CA [Last Updated 12-October-1991] A Loose Association of Electronic Discussion Groups and Electronic Journals of Interest to Scholars. There are more than 600 discussion groups, newsletters, digests and electronic journals devoted to topics of scholarly interest. As more scholars come on-line, the size of these groups, the diversity of material they have to offer, and their total number are all bound to increase. These groups could benefit from a loose confederation that would allow them to share resources easily without imposing any kind of restrictions on their manner of operation. Arachnet is such a confederation. Arachnet is a ListServ list, Arachnet@Uottawa.BITNET or ARACHNET@ACADVM1. Uottawa.CA if you are on the Internet. All editors of discussion groups, newsletters, digests and electronic journals are invited to be members. On its file-server, Arachnet will contain a current list of its member groups, descriptions of each group, and lists of files they hold. As well as the current Directory of E-mail Based Conferences and Electronic Journals. Arachnet's fileserver will also hold various information files pertaining to the creation of e-serials. The conversational component will be a means by which editors of new groups can receive help from their colleagues on questions of editorial policy and the social/ethical aspects of electronic conferencing. Arachnet is not intended to replace Lstown-L@INDYCMS which is a discussion list for listowners to discuss technical aspects of Listserv based discussion group management. Arachnet will be an unedited list but will accept postings only from Arachnet subscribers. If you are an editor or owner of an existing or future e-mail based forum, you are cordially invited to join. Please fill out the attached e-form and return it to one of the Editors listed below.

Moderator: GROSS@BCVMS.BITNET ARPANET-BBOARDS@MC.LCS.MIT.EDU ARPANET-BBOARDS@LCS.MIT.EDU Redistribution address for all known BBoards on the ARPANET. The guidelines for postings are somewhat loose. The ostensible purpose of the list is to distribute: (a) emergency notices ("Southern California just slid into the Pacific, machines at ISI and UCSD will be down for a few days"), and (b) notices of "academic interest", such as seminar and symposium announcements. Advertisements and for-profit notices are not appropriate (the DoD would get upset, among other considerations). A touchy borderline case is job offerings. The practice has been to accept postings from universities (the research community) and the research oriented military installations (the people paying for our hardware) but to refuse postings from private companies. The (shaky) rationale behind this is that university and military job offerings are "research opportunities" as opposed to for-profit advertisements (ie, joining the army or a university is not the way to get rich). Anyone is welcome to redistribute Arpanet-BBoards; it takes some of the (considerable) load off of MC's mailer. But please don't do it without sending a message to the -Request address first. There are Archive copies of every message ever sent to the list but no guarantee is made that they will be online or available at any particular time. The current archive file, such as it is, can be found as "COMAIL;BBOARD ARCHIV" on MC.LCS.MIT.EDU. All requests to be added to or deleted from this list, problems, questions, etc., should be sent to the Coordinators.

Potential members include artists, art-administrators, writers, theorists, students, teachers. The aim of the list is to encourage contributions from all who have dipped a toe into these waters and found them congenial, but who know not where to turn next. The idea is that alliances will be formed, projects launched, funding gained, technology utilised, ideas launched and wild speculation indulged in. I hope that art projects will be instigated via this list. It is within my desire for the list that it evolves. The list encompasses: *Projects *New work *Events *Collaborations *Funding *Technology *Shows *Jobs *Conferences *Proposals *Organisations *Information *Publications *Education *Wild speculation ARTNET provides a forum for the discussion of ART that is concerned with: network; installation; project; communication; temporary; ad-hoc; transient; mobile; time-based; formless; de- centred. I call this PERIPATETIC art. I define peripatetic art thus: The art or action of creative endeavour with lack of fixed base. There is no fixed centre which claims to have 'the knowledge'. All projects involve some aspect of lack of enclosure; the promotion of action without centre. Peripatetic art tends towards the transient, the time based, the mobile. Peripatetology is as much about receiving the action, the project, as it is about initiating it. I am concerned with improving communication amongst those working in these and related areas. By its nature this kind of work often does not lend itself to easy documentation or definition. The concept mooted here, and encapsulated in the term 'peripatetic', has by its very nature a changeable agenda. I hope that in action we will create new ways of working alongside some very old human desires. To subscribe to ARTNET send the command subscribe artnet in a mail message to MAILBASE@NEWCASTLE.AC.UK To contact the list owner for help, advice, information, send mail to: ARTNET-REQUEST@NEWCASTLE.AC.UK If you need more information about MAILBASE you can send the commands: send mailbase overview ( for a general guide to Mailbase ) send mailbase userhelp ( for a User Guide) as a mail message to MAILBASE@NEWCASTLE.AC.UK (Janet UK.AC.NEWCASTLE) ART-SUPPORT@NEWCASTLE.AC.UK [Last Updated 12-October-1991] Art-Support exists as a forum for the discussion of ART related matters. Potential members include artists, art-administrators, writers, theorists, students, teachers and others with an interest in art. This list provides a general magazine type information exchange and discussion area. As in any specialist magazine there will be much of interest to subscribers and also some irrelevance. Although not in any way subscription/geographically limited, the focus of the list is intended to be the UK art community. It is hoped that the list will stimulate the use of network resources. The idea is that alliances will be formed; projects launched; funding gained; technology utilised; ideas launched and wild speculation indulged in. ART-SUPPORT is about ART, not technology. Any art or art related subject is acceptable.

There are only four general * rules: * * (1) Treat everyone's faith as if it were as sacred as your * own. In fact, to be safe, treat their faiths BETTER * than your own. * * (2) Excessively rude, obnoxious, or abusive posting will * not be tolerated. * * (3) Personal attacks will NOT be tolerated. Take your * fights to e-mail where they belong, NOT in public. * * (4) Due to the varied nature of computer systems, please * take into account that not everyone has the time or * disk space to read several thousand lines of BELIEF-L * mail per day. If you have a large amount of material * to send to the list, please do one or more of the * following: * * [a] Announce that you have something you'd * like to discuss, and solicit opinions from * from the list as to whether it would be o.k. * to bring it up. * * [b] Post in reasonably-sized "chunks" -- by my * definition, in the range of 200 lines, once * or twice a day at the most. * * [c] If you will be reposting or crossposting * material from another source, announce that * you have it, and offer to send copies to * interested parties. * * The first "rule" is really a guideline. Proselytizing is OK, so long * as you remember that you get what you dish out. With respect to the * second rule, please remember that you are a professional, and * professionals don't get abusive to others.

The three new lists, which replace the former BIRD_RBA@ARIZVM1, provide a clearing-house for transcribed birding hotlines for three major areas of the country--East, West, and Central. The new lists are BIRDEAST, BIRDCNTR, and BIRDWEST. Current subscribers to BIRD_RBA will be automatically shifted to all three of the new lists. New subscribers must choose which of the three regional lists best answers their needs. Of course, new subscribers may still subscribe to all three lists for full coverage. Subscribers are invited to submit transcripts from their area of the country if it is not already represented. A current list of hotlines available from the National Birding Hotline Cooperative is appended. Contributions to the lists are always welcome and should be sent in MAIL format to BIRDEAST, or BIRDWEST, or BIRDCNTR, all at ARIZVM1. Please note that these are not intended to be general chat lists. Contributions should either be transcripts of birding hotlines or, if a local hotline recording is not available to you, concise statements of species seen and the location of the sighting, along with any relevant information such as 'out of range,' 'out of normal time frame,' etc. If you are confused about which of the three lists to send your material to, contact either of the list owners first. Their Bitnet/Internet addresses are listed below. You may subscribe to The National Birding Hotline Cooperative by sending an interactive SUBSCRIBE command or by including a SUBSCRIBE command as the ONLY line of a MAIL message to LISTSERV@ARIZVM1, as follows: Interactive example from CMS: TELL LISTSERV AT ARIZVM1 SUB BIRDEAST or BIRDCNTR or BIRDWEST MAIL example: SUB BIRDEAST or BIRDCNTR or BIRDWEST To cancel your subscription, issue the SIGNOFF command to LISTSERV@ARIZVM1: SIGNOFF BIRDEAST or BIRDCNTR or BIRDWEST Do NOT send SIGNOFF or other LISTSERV commands to BIRDEAST, BIRDCNTR, or BIRDWEST. If you are on the Internet network, subscription messages should be sent to LISTSERV@ARIZVM1.BITNET and hotline transcripts should be mailed to BIRDEAST@ARIZVM1.BITNET (or CNTR or WEST, as the case may be). In some cases, Internet mailer programs will not know how to get to a local Internet/Bitnet gateway. If this appears to be a problem for you, send subscription messages to: LISTSERV%ARIZVM1.BITNET@CORNELLC.CIT.CORNELL.EDU and hotline transcripts to: BIRDEAST%ARIZVM1.BITNET@CORNELLC.CIT.CORNELL.EDU or BIRDCNTR or BIRDWEST The following states are currently represented with transcribed hotlines on the three regional lists: BIRDEAST BIRDCNTR BIRDWEST ======== ======== ======== Maine Ohio New Mexico New Jersey Indiana Arizona Pennsylvania Michigan California Delaware Texas Maryland District of Columbia Virginia If you have any questions, problems, or suggestions please send a note to us at one of the addresses listed below: ------------------------------------------------------------------- Charles B.

The new name reflects better the topics discussed. Anything relating to the biosphere, pollution, CO-2 effect, ecology, habitats, climate, etc., can be discussed. Basically anything that exerts an influence of some kind or another on the BioSphere. New archives will be stored in a monthly notebook. Archives from the old Ozone List will eventually be transferred to the BIOSPH-L site. Even though there is no longer a connection to the owners of the old list, the idea is to continue on from the topics that were being discussed up to when it went dead.

BUDDHA-L on LISTSERV@ULKYVM.LOUISVILLE.EDU or LISTSERV@ULKYVM.BITNET [Last Updated 28-January-1992] An electronic discussion group called BUDDHA-L has recently been formed towards the end of providing a means for those interested in Buddhist Studies to exchange information and views. It is hoped that the group will function as an open forum for scholarly discussion of topics relating to the history, literature and languages, fine arts, philosophy, and institutions of all forms of Buddhism. It may also serve as a forum for discussion of issues connected to the teaching of Buddhist studies at the university level, and as a place for posting notices of employment opportunities. The primary purpose of this list is to provide a forum for serious academic discussion. It is open to all persons inside and outside the academic context who wish to engage in substantial discussion of topics relating to Buddhism and Buddhist studies. BUDDHA-L is not to be used for proselytizing for or against Buddhism in general, any particular form of Buddhism, or any other religion or philosophy, nor is it to be used as a forum for making unsubstantiable confessions of personal conviction. The discussion on the list is to be moderated, not in order to suppress or censor controversies on any topic, but rather to limit irrelevant discussions and idle chatter, and to redirect or return messages sent to the list by accident. Content or style will never be altered by the moderator, whose only responsibility will be to forward all appropriate postings to the list. If you wish to subscribe to BUDDHA-L, send an e-mail message to LISTSERV@ULKYVM.LOUISVILLE.EDU, or BITNET nodes can send to LISTSERV@ULKYVM. The message should contain only the following command (ie. in the body of the mail): SUBSCRIBE BUDDHA-L Owner: James A.

Coordinator: Tony Olekshy C+Health on LISTSERV@IUBVM Computing and Health or LISTSERV@IUBVM.UCS.INDIANA.EDU [Last Updated 12-October-1991] C+Health is intended to promote sharing of information, experiences, concerns, and advice about computers and health. Anecdotal evidence, media reports, and some formal studies suggest that computer users are at risk from misuse and overuse of computers. Eyestrain, headache, carpal tunnel syndrome, and other apparently computer-related maladies are increasing. And, it would appear that colleges, universities, and other institutions have been slow to respond with education, training, office and lab design, furniture purchasing, and other programs that could make computing more healthful -- and productive. We welcome questions and answers; article and book reviews; hardware, software, and furniture evaluations; approaches to influencing institutional policy; speculation; and humor. Medical, legal, technical, financial, aesthetic, and administrative viewpoints are encouraged. We hope that this forum will be of interest to end users, computing managers, epidemiologists, and policymakers. Subscribers to this list may also wish to participate in EDUCOM's Project EASI: Equal Access to Software for Instruction, "dedicated to assisting higher education in developing computer support services for people with disabilities." EASI provides information and guidance on campus applications of adaptive computer technology. For information on EASI, contact Carmela Castorina, CSMICLC@UCLAMVS.BITNET. In general, C+Health will focus on individual and institutional measures for "keeping healthy people healthy" as well as remedies for restoring temporarily disabled people to health. We suggest that computing issues related to those with permanent disabilities be referred to our dedicated colleagues at EASI. Although this distinction will not always be "easy," one goal of C+Health is to minimize the number of casualties in our increasingly computer-intensive campuses, offices, and homes. This list will not be moderated, at least initially, so we encourage contributors to be succinct, to include relevant parts of messages to which they are responding, and to append their names, titles, and institutions to contributions. New users are welcome to send to the list a brief statement of their experiences and interests in this topic. Unless stated otherwise, it will be assumed that contributions represent individual opinion rather than institutional policy. To subscribe to C+Health send mail with the following command to LISTSERV@IUBVM (from BITNET sites) or LISTSERV@IUBVM.UCS.INDIANA.EDU (from Internet sites).

It is open, unmoderated, and archived on a monthly basis. We hope to attract free-ranging discussion of topics of interest to students and scholars of the 18th century everywhere. What the list becomes is up to the contributors, of course, but we hope to see a wide range of functions - including calls for papers, notes & queries, arguments, friendly backchat, and so forth.
