The selection for the E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize for the years 2001 and

and the competition intense. After careful deliberation the committee
has reached the following decisions:

(University of Toronto) for the dissertation `The Algebraic Structure of
Attributed Type Signatures`. (PhD awarded in the year 2000).

- The E.W. Beth Dissertation Prize 2002 has been awarded to Maria ALONI
(University of Amsterdam) for the dissertation `Quantification under
conceptual covers`. (PhD awarded in the year 2001).
