The first on these shores and the third in the series was held on the campus of the University of Rhode Island in 1975. This meeting was auspicious, bringing together IBBS III and the Society for Industrial Microbiology (SIM). The organizer, convenors and Proceedings editors of IBB III were all long-time SIM members who contributed heavily to the origins of biodeterioration and biodegradation in the U.S. Again this year the two groups will be meeting concurrently, helping SIM to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Although each group will register attendees separately, fees for all categories will be the same and one badge will permit entry to all scheduled events, including lunches and beverage breaks. The venue of IBBS XI is the Crystal Gateway Marriott in Arlington, Virginia, from August 1 -6, 1999. All sessions, lectures, exhibits, committee meetings, as well as room accommodations for many, will be in the hotel facilities. The official opening of IBBS XI is the morning of Monday, August 2nd, with a keynote address. You are also welcome to attend the SIM official opening on the evening of Sunday, August 1st. This is followed by food and refreshments to be held at the exhibit area. The scientific sessions of IBBS XI will follow traditional lines that fall under the symposium title of IBBS. These include multiple sessions on:. (1) biodeterioration of cultural property and (2) aspects of bioremediation and biodegradation, and sessions on biodeterioration of (1) fuels and lubricants, (2) medical devices, (3) consumer products, (4) construction materials, and (5) metal microbiology; as well as (6) disease from deteriogenic organisms, and (7) deterioration from vertebrate and invertebrate posts. In addition to invited papers for labeled sessions, interested individuals are invited to offer posters which will be scheduled concurrent on Thursday, August 5th. Offers of contributed papers may be scheduled in appropriate sessions at the discretion of convenors. Three concurrent sessions will be held Monday afternoon, Wednesday and Friday morning, and Tuesday and Thursday morning and afternoon. All abstracts received for presentations will be published, unedited, in the earliest possible Issue of International and Biodegradation (IBB). Selected sessions will be earmarked for special Issues of IBB and, in addition ,all presentors are invited to submit complete manuscripts. Every manuscript of whatever source will undergo the peer review process, the obligatory practice of IBB. Chairman: H.W. Rossmoore Program Co-Chairs: R.J. Koestler, M.
