(Apologies for multiple copies) (!!! Hotel reservation and early registration deadline Sept 5 !!!)

Dear Colleagues

The Second IFIP Workshop on Autonomic Communications (WAC2005) will take place on Oct 3-5, 2005 in Vouliagmeni-Athens, Greece. Workshop information at: http://www.autonomic-communication.org/wac/ http://cgi.di.uoa.gr/%7Eistavrak/WAC_2005/

!!! -- IMPORTANT !!!!! --

Please note that Monday Sep 5 is the cut off date to keep the hotel rooms for the participants. We would urge you to get the hotel registration form from http://cgi.di.uoa.gr/%7Eistavrak/WAC_2005/Margi_Hotel_Reservation.doc and fax it to the hotel. There is full refund provision for cancellations before Sept 19. The hotel is really very nice and the rate is a reduced one for WAC2005. The Margi hotel offers a winning combination of hospitality, elegant interiors, top quality services and the amenities of a city hotel and a resort location.

Also, please note that the early registration deadline is also on Sept 5. Please get the form from http://cgi.di.uoa.gr/%7Eistavrak/WAC_2005/WAC2005_registration_form.doc and follow the instructions.

The workshop venue (Vouliagmeni - Kavouri area) is a picturesque peninsula at the edge of the city of Athens right on some of the best beaches of the area, the picturesque Vouliagmeni lake and as close as 20-minutes drive from the centre of Athens. October is a very attractive season for the Vouliagmeni-Kavouri area, since the weather is warm enough for pleasant beach access and cool enough for enjoying outdoor activities in the surrounding parks as well as touring the archaeological sites of Athens.

We look forward to seeing you at the workshop. Please let us know if you need help with your arrangements

Best Regards

Ioannis Stavrakakis, University of Athens
