motorway immediately after crossing the Rhine bridge, in the
direction "Bonn-Bad Godesberg" (see sketch).
Coming from Frankfurt on the motorway A 3, take the exit
"Siebengebirge" in the direction "Koenigswinter", after 3 km take
the motorway A 59, in the direction "Bonn", leave it at the exit
"Bonn-Ost" (blue sign!)	 in the direction "Bonn-Bad Godesberg",
and proceed as above.

Other Events

Tool exhibition
The number and the potential of practice-oriented tools for
designing and analyzing net models is growing rapidly.
A tool exhibition will be organized at separate rooms in the
building of the Institut. The tools will be demonstrated during
the session-free times, starting on Tuesday.

Reception in the Town Hall of Bonn
On Wednesday night after dinner there will be a reception by the
mayor of Bonn in the town hall. There will be coach
transportation from the Conference site to the town hall.

Conference Dinner
On Friday, June 30th, at 19:30, the Conference Banquet will be held
at Schloss Birlinghoven (GMD). Transportation to and from the Schloss
will be provided from the Conference site.

Excursion
On Saturday, July 1st, starting in the morning we will leave Bonn
to visit some beauty spots along the Rhine and return by boat
in the afternoon.

SEE YOU AT THE CONFERENCE!
