Invitation: TC6 Meeting in Zurich on 6,7 Oct. 2001
Dear Colleagues --- I am delighted to invite you to the TC6 meeting in Zurich on Saturday and Sunday, October 6 and 7, 2001. 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. The conference URL is http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/I3E-conference/ If you want to attend the conference, you can also register via the URL. Program: Augusto suggests that we start the meeting at 9:00 am on Saturday. Late Saturday afternoon we are invited to a presentation at the IBM Zurich Research Lab (just outside Zurich in Rueschlikon) at which the Laboratory Director, Matthias Kaiserswerth, will present IBM's General Technical Outlook, IBM's view of future trends. Following this there will be an opportunity to visit IBM's Industry Solutions Laboratory which IBM uses to show executives some of the latest technology. Past experience with similar --- if less distinguished! ;-) --- audiences indicates you will enjoy this event. Matthias and IBM also invite TC6 members to a dinner following the lab visit. (Members will have to pick up the dinner tab for their spouse, something in the order of Sfr. 80.) We will walk from the laboratory down to the restaurant on the Lake of Zurich. On Sunday we will resume our TC6 meeting at 9:00 am and continue at least until noon. Augusto (currently traveling) will send the agenda in mid September. Hotels: The I3e conference asks attendees to make their own reservations which you can extend for our TC6 meeting. A pointer to hotels is available on the Web site; again, http://www.ifi.unizh.ch/I3E-conference/ Secretaries at the IBM Research Lab recommend three hotels: - the Seidenhof in downtown Zurich at about 160 Sfr. a night, - the Engematt, also in downtown Zurich at about 165 Sfr. a night, - and the IBIS hotel in Adliswil, just outside of Zurich and for which there is no public transportation, at about 95 Sfr. a night. Your travel agent should ask for the IBM Research Lab rate at all three of these hotels. I am sorry that I do not have someone to help with reservations. It would help us with the planning if you would send me a note saying that you will be coming. I do look forward to welcoming you to Zurich! With best regards, Harry
Two more ideas: The first is from Otto Spaniol: "Personally, I made good experience with the Hotel Limmathof. It is *very* centrally located, just opposite to the Central tramway stop and next door to the Polybahn entrance and the walking district. 5 minutes from main station. The price was just 100 SFR a night." The second is an offer from the Intercontinental for those of you who have attended IFIP or ACM conferences there. (The former Nova Park.) "Friday & Saturday: Business Room at CHF 173.- per room, per night Executive Room at CHF 243.- per room, per night Sunday: Business Room at CHF 185.- per room, per night Executive Room at CHF 270.- per room per night Breakfast: CHF 28.- per person, per day These are IBM-Corporate Rates including service, tax and VAT." Looking forward and with best regards, Harry
