TUTORIAL AND CASE-STUDY SESSIONS
Researchers, business consultants, hardware and software manufacturers
and business companies in general are invited to submit case studies,
regarding their own technology problems and solutions. For this
purpose, GRAPP will have a track for tutorials, case-study sessions
and company presentation sessions. The attendance to these sessions
is free for all the conference participants. All tutorials and
case studies should be submitted by email to the GRAPP secretariat.
EXHIBITION
The conference site will have an area for company stands, where
a number of companies will present themselves and their products.
Companies interested in presenting their products, showing documentation
about them or demonstrating some application, are invited to contact
the secretariat and make a reservation for a display area located
at the conference site. Due to the limited space available it
is recommended to make early reservations. Prices and available
spaces will be provided by the GRAPP secretariat.
VENUE
The conference will be held in Setubal, a town 50-km south of
Lisboa, the Portuguese capital. Setubal and its surroundings are
a major touristic place, in Portugal, where the visitor can find
anything from ancient historical areas, in Palmela, to pleasurable
beaches and modern golf courses, in Troia. Another interesting
place in Portugal - Algarve - is less than two hours away from
the conference site.
PROCEEDINGS AND BOOK PUBLICATION
All accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings,
under an ISBN reference, in paper and in CD-ROM support. A book
including a selection of the best conference papers will be edited
and published by Springer.
BEST STUDENT PAPER AWARD
An award will be given to the best paper presented by a student
(graduate, M.Sc or Ph.D). The organising committee will decide,
based on the feedback provided by the program committee. To qualify
for the best student paper award, the student, besides being one
of the authors, must present the paper at the conference site.
LOCAL ARRANGEMENTS
Inquiries concerning hotel reservation and touristy aspects can
be directed to the GRAPP secretariat. A local specialized travel
agency will make all arrangements. Free transportation between
a number of hotels and the conference site will be provided by
the conference organization, during the conference days. Coffee
breaks and lunch meals will be provided at the conference site,
for conference participants.
