[comp.lang.fortran] Fortran 90 Implementation Workshop

sml@hickory17.cray.com (Sharon Lammers) (02/14/91)

                              Fourth Fortran 90
			   Implementation Workshop
			      April 4 - 5, 1991

Fortran 90 will (probably/hopefully) be an official ANSI and ISO standard
within the year.  In anticipation of this, a number of interested persons
have met to discuss compiler implementation issues related to Fortran 90. 
These meetings are quite informal.  The attendees to these meetings have
tended to be individuals who are in the process of developing a Fortran 90
compiler, who plan on developing a Fortran 90 compiler or who have an active
interest in the implementation of features in Fortran 90.

If you fit any of these categories, and think you could contribute to and
benefit from this type of meeting you should plan on attending this two day
workshop. If you have topics that are pertinent and feel that they should
have agenda time, send them to one of the hosts.

The agenda for this meeting is:


                           Implementation Symposium Agenda
                            (Subject to Minor Changes)

Transportation:
       The airport is approximately 15-20 minutes away from the Hyatt.
       Transportation is available from the Minneapolis/St. Paul International
       Airport every 1/2 hour via Minneapolis Suburban Airport Limousine
       Service.  This company does not take reservations and is located outside
       the baggage claim area.

       If you rent a car, the drive to the hotel from the airport is roughly 12
       miles.  When leaving the airport follow the signs for West on Interstate
       494. Proceed west on 494 until interstate 35W. Go North on 35W. When
       approaching downtown Minneapolis, follow the signs for the 11th Street
       exit. Take 11th Street to 2nd Avenue (it eventually turns into Grant
       Street). Continue past the Convention Center. Turn right at Nicollet
       Avenue. The hotel is immediately on the left (if you go too far, you'll
       end up on the Nicollet Mall with the pedestrians and buses!), on the
       corner of Grant and Nicollet. Parking is available in the attached Loring
       Municipal Parking Ramp.

Climate:
       Minneapolis in April can be warm, pleasant and sunny (daytime 45-55
       degrees Fahrenheit, evenings low of 30) OR it can be cold, windy,
       raining/snowing (daytime 30-40, evenings low of 15).  The hotel is
       located in downtown Minneapolis.  Thus, many eating and entertainment
       places can be reached by walking short distances or in short cab or
       bus rides.
