<p>Dear Apps members,</p>
<p>The last IVOA meeting at Trieste in 21-23 October had been very
fruitful, notably in the 3 Applications sessions (16 talks/demos).
For those who were not able to partipate to this meeting, you will
find the PDFs of most Apps talks at this following URL:

<p>Two important decisions concerning Apps standards had been taken
(see the <a

remarks</a>):<br>
