\par

$\bullet$\ {\bf History}:
The 1st Workshop ``TMSF, Sofia'94'' took place near Sofia
(the resort town of Bankya), Bulgaria in the period 12-17 August 1994.
Attended by 46 mathematicians and 6 accompanying persons from
15 countries. The 2nd Workshop ``TMSF, Varna'96'' was organized to
commemorate the 100th Anniversary of the eminent Bulgarian mathematician
N. Obrechkoff, in Varna (the Black Sea resort ``Golden Sands''),
Bulgaria in the period 23-30 August 1996. Attended by 73 participants
and several accompanying persons (incl. wives, husbands, children)
from 19 countries. The Workshops ``TMSF'' were initiated as a
continuation of the international conferences ``Complex Analysis \&
Applications'' in Varna, 1981, 1983, 1985, 1987, 1991 but with the
intention to bring together experts in closer fields and give
the meetings the flavour of workshops on the following topics.
\par

$\bullet$\ {\bf Topics}:
Integral Transforms, Special Functions, Series Expansions,
Fractional Calculus, Algebraic Analysis, Generalized Functions,
Operational Calculus, Univalent Functions;\
Applications  of these topics to Complex Analysis, Differential
and Integral Equations, Mathematical Physics;\ Related problems.
\par

$\bullet$\ {\bf The Third International Workshop ``TMSF''} will take
place in the town of Blagoevgrad (situated 100 km south from
Sofia, the largest economical and cultural center of the Pirin and
Rila Mountains region, on the Sofia-Koulata-Athens highway and railway
line). The working days of the meeting will be 14--19 August 1999,
arrivals on 12--13 August and departure on 20 August. This time, the
meeting is organized with the kind assistence of the American
University in Bulgaria (AUBG; visit ``http://www.aubg.bg'') and the
sessions will take place in the halls of AUBG. The accommodation of
the participants will be arranged in the ``Alen Mak'' hotel located in
front of the AUBG, both at a beautifull square in the very centre of
the town. Transportation Sofia-Blagoevgrad-Sofia will be provided in
groups, by buses/minibuses (incl. in the participation fees).
During the meeting, various social activities will be organized
as a welcome party, excursion to several interesting places in Rila
and Pirin Mountains, etc.
\par

$\bullet$\ {\bf Proceedings}.
The Proc. ``TMSF, Sofia'94''(380 p.) was published by ``Science Culture
Technology Publishing''(SCTP) - Singapore. The second one, ``TMSF,
Varna'96'' (620 p.) was planned for publication by the same publisher,
but since he failed to do this for the economical crisis in Asia, this
volume has been now published by IMI-BAS, Sofia and will be out of
press in November 1998. More details on this publication are given in
separate e-mail message (or please contact us). The Proceedings
``TMSF, Blagoevgrad'99'' will be published as a special issue of the
new international journal ``Fractional Calculus \& Applied Analysis''
(FCAA, visit ``http://www.diogenes.bg/fcaa'',\,
``http://www.math.bas.bg/\~{}fcaa''). This will ensure its rapid publication,
refereeing by MathRev, ZBLMath, etc.
\par

$\bullet$\ {\bf Details} on the accommodation and its prices, deadlines
for submitting the titles of talks and their abstracts, participation
fees and deadlines / methods of payments in advance, etc. will be
given in the next, {\bf Second Announcement in December 1998}. By the
moment we have preliminary arrangements with the ``Alen Mak'' hotel
at prices (per night/person/approx.): USD 35 (single room), USD 26
(1 bed in double room) and fullboard meals (breakfast, lunch, supper
- combined in the hotel and AUBG canteen) for USD 12/day. Also
apartments will be available in the hotel. We are also looking for
some cheeper possibilities for accommodatation in students dormitories.
\par
