2000 IEEE Computer Elements Vail Workshop

June 25 -28, 2000

Invitation

 

The IEEE Technical Committee Elements invites you to participate in the 2000 Computer Elements Workshop to be held in Vail, Colorado from June 25 to June 28, 2000 at the Christiania Lodge on Hansen Ranch Road in Vail. An excellent program has been created by the program committee under the able leadership program chair Joel Boney.

The program starts at 5:00 p.m. on Sunday June 25. We hold the keynote address on Sunday evening, and have six sessions over the next three days. We encourage all attendees to contribute to the success of the workshop through their active participation. This could occur during discussion periods after the talks, at breaks, and at meals. This workshop has been structured to allow many opportunities for informal technical discussions. As in the past, we will continue to have an environment which allows an undocumented exchange of leading edge technical experiences from which al attendees can benefit.

In accordance with IEEE workshop rules, no material will be published, nor will cameras or tape recorders be permitted. No proprietary information will be discussed, however, questions of technical nature may be discussed at length.

Attendance will be limited to ensure a workshop atmosphere, so please get your registration in early! The program for the workshop and registration information is on the following pages. The program is quite firm, although there may be some changes in content or order of presentation. Participants are encouraged to attend the entire workshop; no partial registration is offered. More details can be found at our web page located at www.computer.org/tab/tclist/tcce.htm then click on Computer Elements.

The total fee of $635 ($585 for IEEE members) covers the IEEE workshop registration fee, lodging, and all meals from Sunday dinner through Wednesday. Registration is due by June 5, 2000. After this date rooms may not be available. Please feel free to contact the Registrar, John Polhemus (303-781-6190) for information or questions. I look forward to seeing you at the workshop for an interesting and fruitful exchange of ideas.

Van service from the Denver airport can be arranged by calling Colorado Mountain Express at 800-525-6363.

Please check the box to join the Computer Elements Technical committee. It costs nothing and demonstrates to the Computer Society that we are a technically interesting group to belong to.

Thank you,
