Location:
The conference will be held in the premises of the Faculty of
Electrical Engineering and Information Technology in Bratislava.
The city Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, is located on the
banks of the Danube river, about 60 km eastern from Vienna.
Positioned right at the foot of the south slopes of the
Little Carpatian mountains the area around Bratislava is an ideal
place for grape-growing. Small wine cellars and restaurants,
places, where people meet old friends and make new ones,
are the logical answers to the ancient traditions of making wine
in the city.
Bratislava is accessible from the Vienna airport by regular bus
lines in less then 45 minutes. The distance to Budapest and
Prague is about 200 and 330 km, respectively. Coming from these
directions IC and EC trains are recommended. However, high
quality road ways from all directions are available for those
who prefer to drive a car.
Accommodation:
Accommodation will be provided in hotels of different categories
in the center of the city. The estimated price ranges from 120
to 300 DEM per night. A limited number of places will be
available in the halls of residence of the University for
assumed prices between 30 and 60 DEM per night.
Climatic Conditions:
The weather in the beginning of September is usually warm and dry.
During the day the temperature ranges from 22 to 25oC.
