TC6 Meeting - More Information - Another Invitation
by Harry Rudin 25 Sep '01

25 Sep '01

Dear colleagues, As you know, our TC6 committee meeting follows the I3e conference (the First IFIP Conference on e-Commerce, e-Business & e-Government) with its tutorials on 3 October and papers on 4 and 5 October. The conference and our committee meeting will be held at the University of Zurich at Irchel, between Zurich's airport, Kloten, and downtown Zurich. Important: Our TC6 meeting will be held in Building 27, Room H25. Building 27 is at the extreme end of the campus on the hill side. Please note that the University is closed on Saturday and Sunday so I will have to let you in. If you come late, our conference room has a phone: (01) 635 4351. I will borrow a handy phone as backup, (079) 399 0878. If worst comes to worst, the meeting room is in the back of Building 27 near the bicycle rack; if you wave and shout we will probably see and hear you! For detailed instructions and a map, which I urge you to print, please see http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/ifiadmin/wayToInst.html Augusto has sent you the agenda. The TC6 meeting will start at 9:00 am. on Saturday. That afternoon we will leave the University around 15.30 to take public transportation to the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory for a presentation and demonstrations as described earlier. If you get a 24-hour VBZ transportation ticket (Please see directions at the URL above) valid to Rueschlikon, you can also use this for transportation to the Laboratory and for the trip back to Zurich after our TC6 dinner, also in Rueschlikon. Finally, for those of you who are in Zurich on Friday evening, 5 October, Edith and I invite TC6 members and their spouses to our home in Oberrieden for an informal meal. If you would like to come, please do reply by e-mail. We will then send you detailed directions. We do look forward to your coming! Best regards, Harry PS The conference URL, in case you want to register, is http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/I3E-conference/
