Liebe D-CONdianer, In about two months from now we are hoping to welcome you to *D-CON 2016* in Saarbrücken: March 7/8 are the dates. We are most happy to announce that the D-CON 2016 invited speaker will be *Rupak Majumdar* from MPI-SWS. All relevant information concerning D-CON 2016 is being assembled at: https://depend.cs.uni-sb.de/index.php?id=598 We are now asking for contributions to the programme, be it topics for presentations or for general discussion. Please *send us your suggestions* within a month from now, at the latest on Monday, Feb 8. Registration is already open, and is performed by sending a brief note to either myself or to Alexander Graf-Brill <grafbrill@depend.uni-saarland.de>. Hotel accomodation will be on a *book-your-own* basis. Contact Christa Schäfer <schaefer@cs.uni-saarland.de> if you need assistance with room bookings. Be advised to book your hotel as soon as possible. See the website for hotel suggestions and travel information. For your travel scheduling: We plan to start D-CON on Monday, March 7 at 09:00, and finish at 15:30 (at the latest) on Tuesday, March 8, so that presumably all participants are able to get home the same day. We suggest to plan your arrival for Sunday, March 6 (or earlier, sure). We are looking forward to seeing you at D-CON 2016 in Saarbrücken! Beste Grüße, Holger und Alexander -- Prof. Dr.-Ing.
