Title	Analytic-geometric categories - an application of model theory to geometry
Abstract	The definition of analytic-geometric category, introduced by van den Dries and Miller, extends the notion of subanytic sets and maps. Technically, it is a translation into geometric language of model-theoretic results of Willkie and Marker-McIntyre-van den Dries. After an introduction to these ideas, I shall argue that they provide a very useful tool.
