In January 1989 a Workshop on Algorithms, Word Problems and Classi fication in Combinatorial Group Theory was held at MSRl. This was part of a year-long program on Geometry and Combinatorial Group Theory or ganised by Adyan, Brown, Gersten and Stallings. The organisers of the workshop were G. Baumslag, F.B. Cannonito and C.F. Miller III. The pa pers in this volume are an outgrowth of lectures at this conference. The first three papers are concerned with decision problems and the next two with finitely presented simple groups. These are followed by two papers dealing with combinatorial...
