hotel list
by Guy Pujolle 04 Sep '06

04 Sep '06

Dear TC6 members, Enclosed is a list of hotels around either the conference or the TC6 meeting place. All the hotels are located in the center of Paris and are close to the metro line 10 that serves either Rue des Ecoles (metro Odeon) for the AN'06 conference, or the IFIP meeting place (metro La Motte Piquet Grenelle): Room Gerard Noguez, 7th floor 8 rue du Capitaine Scott 75015 Paris (Access : http://www.lip6.fr/Laboratoire/acces.html ) For Otto Spaniol: Due to the paralelism between the AN'2006 conference and the working group meeting, is it possible to consider to begin the meeting on Friday 2:00pm and finish the meeting by Saturday end of the afternoon? This will permit to participate in the morning session of Friday? The TC6 dinner will be Friday evening. As the ticket price is much better when spending a saturday night, this should be possible. Best regards, Guy _____________________________________ Guy Pujolle Guy.Pujolle(a)lip6.fr Université Pierre et Marie Curie 8 rue du Capitaine Scott, 75015 Paris, France Assistante: Laetitia Jacquey, Laetitia.jacquey(a)lip6.fr tel: +33 1 44 27 87 74 fax +33 1 44 27 87 83

Hotels in Paris
by Otto Spaniol 31 Aug '06

31 Aug '06

Dear all, thank you very much for the first informations received concerning your attendance or non-attendance. A remark about the hotels: I have attached the list which was provided by Guy Pujolle. Apparently this list is not identical to the list for the AN'06 conference. Guy's list might be a subset of hotels which are convenient both for the conference and for the meeting which are at different places. If you should have already booked a room in a hotel from the AN´06 list which is not on Guy's list then you might probably keep this reservation since the metro system in Paris is so convenient that it will be easy (and quite fast) to reach both the conference and the meeting location from anywhere in Paris (and even from Paris Banlieue). Best wishes Otto

The extended abstract should include diagrams, initial results, and details required for the reviewers to assess the contribution of your work. A short summary of approximately 150 words is also required at the time of submission of the extended abstract. Extended abstracts must be submitted electronically by August 20, 2006 , via EDAS (http://edas.info). Proceedings of the conference will be available on IEEE Xplore after the event. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- PANEL SESSIONS & TUTORIALS Proposals for Tutorial and Panel Sessions are also being solicited. Tutorials (half-day or full-day sessions) are intended to provide in-depth learning on a specific topic of interest to the participants. Panel sessions are 60 minutes long. They present leaders in a particular area discussing a topic of interest within the scope of the symposium. Proposals for Tutorials and Panel sessions should consist of 1000 words summary, a 150 word abstract, and a cover page listing the details of the author(s).
