e-mail: Because of increasing levels of spam I am currently switching
to a rigorous spam filter. Any e-mail which comes from an address
which does not belong to a pattern of e-mail addresses which my filter
accepts (e.g., everything from ac.uk will be accepted), will be
automatically deleted. If you want to initiate e-mail contact with me,
phone me, or send me a fax with your e-mail address. Alternatively you
can send me an e-mail to "M.Kerber" at "cs.bham.ac.uk" with a
specialised subject line, which currently has to be
"communication76".
Office: Rm 137 in the Computer Science Building (Y9).
