2  General Notes

• The main events will be held on 5-May-07 in Meeting Room C of the University of Utah Guest House. Parking: Park at the Guest House or at the Officer's Club nearby (overflow). The TRAX cuts through campus and stops right next to the Guest House (well, at the other end of a long pedestrian bridge).
• A registration fee of $40 is required from each participant to cover the costs of the dinner and snacks on 5-May-07, to help prepare the participants' edition of Gary's FestSchrift (being planned), to give you one free wine/beverage ticket for the dinner of 5-May-07, and also to buy lunches and munchies. You may write a personal check in my name (Ganesh Gopalakrishnan). Excess proceeds will be applied to a suitable noble cause (which can be discussed, or I shall reveal the same, if you trust me to take an appropriate decision). Sorry, no credit cards. Cash is OK.
• A block of rooms will be reserved for the accommodation of guests for the nights of 4-May-07 (Fri) and 5-May-07 (Sat). To determine the block size, all requests received by kathrine@cs.utah.edu by 15-Mar-07 will be tallied, and that many rooms will be attempted to be held as a courtesy room-block (meaning, nobody will be penalized if those rooms are not rented out). If we cannot make the room block happen, we will inform you.
• You still are responsible for making your own reservations, by contacting the Guest House. The courtesy room-block is only to try and ensure that there will be a room when you try to book.
• If you want to arrive, but will be making your own accommodations, feel free to do so.
• Guests arriving Friday evening sufficiently early (e.g. checked in at a place within a few miles of downtown by 6pm) may, if they like to go to dinner as a group, email ganesh@cs.utah.edu by 1-May-07, to permit a reservation to be obtained. I'm thinking of booking tables at Squatters or another brew-pub (which also serves dinner). (Note: This is not a free dinner.)
• Each invited speaker is allotted 30 minutes for his/her talk, including time for discussions.
• All invited speakers may kindly submit a 10-page (or so) paper, emailed to ganesh@cs.utah.edu (we can discuss the format separately). The Editor of ENTCS, Mike Mislove, welcomes a special issue (Festschrift) of ENTCS, if the theme is generally situated around programming languages / software engineering, and there are sufficient number of papers.
