Title: The Manifold Completion

There are many instances in mathematics of where one ``glues'' objects
together: topological manifolds, smooth manifolds, manifolds with corners,
simplicial complexes, schemes, etc.  In this talk, we describe a general
construction that builds a category of manifolds out of any join
restriction category, and show that many of the examples of gluing
are examples of this construction.
