- Title : Mixture Designs - a Review
Abstract : We introduce standard mixture models and standard mixture designs as are well-known in the literature. Some of the less known models are also introduced briefly. Next we mention about known applications of mixture experiments in agriculture, food processing and pharmaceutical studies. Then we describe the framework of exact and approximate [or, continuous] mixture designs. A broad class of research problems posed and discussed in the published literature is presented with appropriate references.

- Title: Groups of Homotopy spheres
Abstract of the first talk on `Groups of homotopy spheres':
In a land-mark paper in 1956, J. Milnor showed that there are non standard differential structures on the 7-dimensional sphere. Six years later along with Kervaire, he introduced an abelian group structure on the set of equivalence classes of smooth structures on spheres of all dimension and determined these groups in several cases. We shall present some of the salient features of this work.
