General Information for Authors and Participants
Texts :
Final texts should be in Toulouse by January 10th, to the very last. They
should be about 12 pages long, single-space typed. The first page should
indicate the name, full address, telephone number and e-mail of author(s).
Authors are invited to use preferably a Times 12 pts font (like the one
used for this letter). Please do not number pages (use black pen, easy
to erase).
Publishers have been contacted for publication of the proceedings in a
book. Authors will probably be given a second chance to revise their texts
after the seminar before final publication.
Presentation :
You have been allocated 45 minutes (invited) and 30 minutes (submitted
papers) for presentation. Please include in this slot 5-10 mn for questions,
longer discussions can take place at the end of the day or during breaks.
An overhead projector will be available.
Participants :
Besides speakers, participants are very welcome. We however want to keep
the total number of participants and speakers below 45 people to allow
fruitful exchanges. Anyone willing to attend the seminar and who is not
presenting a paper is requested to send us a letter ASAP. Acceptance to
the seminar will be based on a first come first served basis. Colleagues
having submitted papers that we have not been able to accept will also
be given priority.
Accomodation :
30 rooms have been pre-reserved at hotel ARCADE at the cost of 215F single
and 275F double, breakfast included (buffet). Our option expires December
20, so we need to know before that date if you need a room and for how
many days. Please be very precise and give arrival and departure dates
and hours. Use email (stdizier@irit.fr, viegas@irit.fr), fax (61 55 62
58) or phone (61 55 63 44) to inform us ASAP, please. Those who have already
given us their visiting dates recently need not do it again.
The hotel ARCADE is located in a very quiet small street, very close to
Toulouse historical center. Its address is : rue Claire Pauilhac, it is
shown on the enclosed map.It is about 800meters far from the railway station
and the bus station (where the bus Arocar coming from the airport stops).
It is 400m far from Place du Capitole which is the center of Toulouse.
Hotel phone number (in case of late arrival) : 61 63 61 63.
Upon reception of your hotel request, confirmation of reservation is implicit
unless you get a letter from us saying the contrary or allocating you another
hotel (speakers will be given priority at hotel ARCADE, unless they respond
too late).
Transports :
Toulouse has very good daily connections with major European cities. It
also has 18 daily return flights to Paris. Train is much longer and less
convenient. There are very cheap fares on Air Inter between Paris and Toulouse,
which are sometimes cheaper than the train (especially for students). From
the airport, take the bus `Arocar' to the bus station (20 minutes, 21Francs)
and then walk to the hotel (800 meters) or take a taxi (30F). You can also
take a taxi from the airport (20mn, 100 F about). If you come by train,
from the railway station, walk to the hotel (800 meter) or take a taxi (30F).
To get to the university, take bus number 2 (about 6F, pay when getting
on the bus, or buy bunches of 10 tickets), from a bus stop very close to
the hotel. Bus must be bound to `Campus Scientifique' (and not CHR-Rangueil,
this is a hospital, but close to the university). It takes about 45 mns
during peak hours to get to the university. Get down at the terminus, on
the campus. Someone will be waiting for you here. If you're late, ask for
IRIT, the conference will be held there.
Seminar Location :
The seminar will be held in the main amphitheater of the IRIT. Lunches
will take place in a university restaurant nearby (with good meals, wine
and coffee). It is about 200m far from the bus 2 stop on the Campus.
Costs :
The seminar is funded by the GDR-PRC Communication Homme-machine, a national
research group supported by the French Ministry of Research and Technology
and the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. However, we have
to ask participants a small participation fee concerning the attendance
of the seminar, lunches and banquet.
- for invited speakers, it is all free.
- for members of the GDR-PRC Communication Homme-Machine, we need a
participation for the banquet (about 130F, if you want to attend it).
- for other participants (submitted papers and attendees), there is a fee
for participation to the seminar itself (i.e. for breaks, infrastructure
and proceedings) of 100F, plus a participation of 160 F for the two lunches
and, as an option, an amount of about 130F for the banquet on Thursday
evening.
Payment must be made upon arrival, preferably in cash.
Refunds for invited speakers :
Invited speakers will be refunded as indicated in their invitation letter, or as
arranged directly with us. They will be refunded in cash (our administration
does not make any cheques) on the first day, probably after lunch. Please,
prepare an ID, your transporation ticket and a photocopy of each of these
for our records. Thanks.
So, we look forward to seeing you soon in Toulouse !
