**************************************************************
Unlike in the previous workshops this time we have not asked for
preregistration (because this information was not really necessary)
but have set a rather late deadline for registration and abstract
submission. A consequence was, that so far not very many people have
officially registered but in E-mails and at conferences people keep
asking us, when the next announcement w.r.t the "Eighth Viennese
Workshop
" will be. So here it is. Additional Information to the
Call for Papers is:
**************************************************************
1. We now have officially decided upon the TRAVEL AGENCY for HOTEL
RESERVATIONS and tours:
Imperial Tours
Conference Department
Dr. Karl Lueger Ring 8
A-1014 Vienna, Austria
Tel.: (+43-1) 5356970
Fax: (+43-1) 53411202
office(a)imperial-tours.com
http://www.imperial-tours.com
The link for booking hotels is:
http://www.imperial-tours.com/englisch/e_anmeldung-
optimalcontrol2003.html
We recommend you to book early, since May is the best and busiest
tourist months in Vienna, because
· it has the best weather for sightseeing (stable and not too hot)
· the Austrian Federal Theatres and Operas are still open (they close
in summer)
· the Vienna Festival takes place (May 9 - June 15, 2003)
If you book late you might end up in expensive hotels or in those not
close to the center.
**************************************************************
2. We will have several excellent INVITED SPEAKERS which are being
organized at the moment. Some have already confirmed that they will
give a (semi-)plenary presentation:
-> Richard Day, University of Southern California, USA - Recursive
Programs and Games
-> Ulrich Rieder, Ulm, Germany - Stochastic Control
-> Evgenii Mishchenko, Steklov Institute, Russia - Historical
Development of Optimal Control
-> Erik Mosekilde, Technical University of Denmark - Chaotic
synchronization in living systems
Several others are just now being asked but have not confirmed yet:
Benhabib, Lux, Scheinkman, etc.
**************************************************************

**************************************************************
4. REFUND POLICY:
A few people have asked about the procedure whereby payment of EURO
190 is expected before people know if their abstract is accepted.
Clearly, the E190 will be fully refunded if the abstract is not
accepted.
Also, potential contributors should know that it is the tradition of
our workshops that we try to have as many top presentations as
possible, but that we also want to give younger researchers (and
those who want to talk about unfinished work in process) a chance to
get feedback from the audience. Thus, although refereed,
contributions will usually only be rejected if they clearly do not
fall within the scope of the workshop of if it is clear from the
abstract, that it is nonsense. Papers will usually not be rejected
because of lack of space.
**************************************************************
5. REMINDER:
Please note that the DEADLINE FOR ABSTRACT SUBMISSION is approaching:
December 31, 2002
Also note, that compared with the previous workshops we have chosen a
very late deadline, and that therefore this deadline is absolutely
STRICT. Abstracts, for which the registration fee has not been paid
by then will not be considered any further.
