With great regret, we have to announce that PPPJ 2012 to be held in South Africa has had to be cancelled, as only 12 papers were submitted for the programme.  Unfortunately, it seems that many people were unable to consider travelling to South Africa for the conference this year.

Discussions are under way on the possibility of relocating PPPJ 2012 to an alternative venue, possibly co-located with another conference.  Further information will be sent out as and when more details are available.

Otherwise we hope that you will continue to support the PPPJ conference series in 2013.

We regret that we will not have the opportunity to welcome you to Rhodes University and South Africa in September.
