There will be a special session in Commutative Algebra at the School of Mathematics in IPM on Nov. 16-17, 2005. The goal of this session is to bring together many of the people in Iran who are working in Commutative Algebra and related areas, to introduce students and young researchers the topics of recent research. The tentative plan is to have some talks of 30 minutes each.
