The basic structure of the program includes three optional
tutorials and an NCSA tour on
Sunday afternoon. Note that the three sets of tutorials and
the NCSA tour occur concurrently, so you may only attend
one.
There will be a reception at the Illini Union on Sunday evening. Invited and contributed oral papers will be presented all day Monday and Tuesday and in the morning on Wednesday. Monday evening after a break for dinner there will be several Birds-of-a-Feather sessions.
Tuesday evening there will be a conference banquet at the 20th floor of the University Inn. This room has a wonderful view of the University of Illinois campus area. The meeting officially ends at noon on Wednesday, however, there will be time for tours on Wednesday afternoon for those who couldn't attend them on Sunday afternoon. Further information is available on the Program At A Glance and Detailed Program page.
