All registrants for either conference can attend any sessions of either conference. The only difference between registering for SPAA, PODC, or both is which conference proceedings you will receive. (Extra copies of proceedings can also be ordered through this web page.) Conference registration includes one or both proceedings, and the banquet on Tuesday evening (except student registration). Coffee breaks, lunches, and business meetings are funded through hotel registrations (see below). This year, due to early hotel deadlines, we will have three categories of registration: early, normal, and late. The deadline for early registration is April 20, 1998, and the deadline for normal registration is June 1, 1998. Registration fees are given below; for more details, see the registration web page. Early Regular Late (by 4/20) (by 6/1) (after 6/1) ACM Member (one proceedings): $125 $225 $275 ACM Member (both proceedings): $150 $250 $300 Non-ACM Member (one proceedings): $175 $275 $325 Non-ACM Member (both proceedings): $200 $300 $350 Student (one proceedings): $ 25 $ 50 $ 75 Student (both proceedings): $ 50 $ 75 $100 ********************************************************** HOTEL REGISTRATION ********************************************************** In addition to registering for PODC/SPAA, all conference registrants must be registered with the conference hotel, the Marriott CasaMagna (even if you are staying elsewhere). This is because the hotel's services to the conference (meeting rooms, coffee breaks, etc.) are paid for through hotel registration rather than conference registration (hence the low conference registration fees). Please register with the hotel before registering for the conference. Participants must provide the group name "PODC-SPAA CONGRESS" and dates in order to get the group rates below. These rates include all taxes, gratuities, and tips. IMPORTANT: Be sure you register using the all-inclusive room rates listed below, as these are the rates that properly credit the conference. Hotel rates are the following: Single Room per night: $116.00 USD Double Room per night: $125.00 USD (only one person attending the conference) Double Room per night: $148.00 USD (both attending the conference) Triple Room per night: $183.00 USD (all three attending the conference) Staying elsewhere: $140.00 USD (for the entire conference) These are all-inclusive rates and are thus very competitive. A rate of $99.45 USD single or double occupancy (taxes but no meals included), no meals included will be honored three days prior/post the event based on availability. Reservations should be made directly with Marriott. Toll-free numbers are the following: USA and Canada: (800) 223 6388 Mexico: (800) 326-5000 France: 0800 90 8333 Germany: 0130 854422 Greece: 00800 441 27686 Israel: 177 440 8662 Mexico: 91 800 90 088 Spain: 900 99 4422 Switzerland: 0800 55 0122 Taiwan, Taipei: 886 2 567 3081 (not toll-free) See http://www.marriott.com/reservations/ for other numbers. Alternatively, reservations may be made directly with the reservation department of the hotel in Puerto Vallarta: phone +52-322-10004 fax +52-322-10376 Participants must provide the group name "PODC-SPAA CONGRESS" and dates in order to get the group rates. Reservations must be guaranteed with a credit card: American Express, Diner's Club, Mastercard, or Visa. (Cancellations with less than 14 days notice will be charged for $170 plus tax.) ********************************************************** LOCAL INFORMATION ********************************************************** TRANSPORTATION: To get from the airport to the Marriott CasaMagna there are at least two options. (1) TEA company can be reached through Marriott office in airport, US$5.00 per person. This can be charged to your hotel room or payed in the airport. (2) Airport Taxis. US$8.00 per taxi for upto 4 persons. To get from Marriott CasaMagna to airport: US$2.50 per taxi for upto 4 people. ACTIVITIES: Puerto Vallarta is an outstanding departure point for deep-sea fishing expeditions and all types of sailing vessels are available for rent at the Marina just adjacent to the hotel. Snorkeling, scuba diving, waterskiing are also popular watersports. Excursions to other beaches, towns and off the track adventures are also available. The 18 hole Golf Course, just across the street from the hotel, is a very challenging course. The hotel has three lighted, synthetic grass tennis courts. A wide variety of jewelry stores, art galleries, leather goods shops, craft shops and boutiques line the cobblestone streets of downtown Puerto Vallarta. The municipal market bulges with local crafts and there are various shopping centers throughout the city featuring clothing and leather goods. >From the spicy blend of Mexican fare to elegant five-star dining, Puerto Vallarta has it all and at reasonable prices. Fresh fish is in abundance at the restaurants on the bay as well as those perched on a hilltop overlooking the bay. You will find great food in Puerto Vallarta! Puerto Vallarta has a little of everything for fun after dark. Start the evening on a sunset cruise, and then disco the night away at Christine's, featuring a laser light show. Live rock music is featured at the Hard Rock Cafe. Near the Marina district there are discos, karaoke bars and a bowling alley. TIPPING: Tipping is common in Mexico. Waiters get between 10% and 15% gratuity if no service charge has already been added. Check your bill to see if if service has been included. Taxi drivers, and any other person serving you (help with your bags, help in gas station, etc) gets some tip. ABOUT THE HOTEL: Marriot CasaMagna (magnificent home) welcomes you with true Puerto Vallarta warmth and hospitality. It is situated directly on the Banderas Bay beach in the fashionable Marina district. Beautiful foliage, a magnificent pool and outdoor restaurant and bar are there for you to relax and enjoy the tropical outdoors. The deluxe rooms are equipped with hair dryers and plush ter cloth robes. The mini-bar is stocked with beverages and snacks, including bottled water. The hotel does have a double water purification system, operated by the "Culligan" man, making water and icecubes safe. The voltage is standard 2 prong (as in the USA). There is a full service health club with universal gym equipment and a variety of services available by appointment. The hotel offers babysitter services and children activities and care. Please check with the hotel for rates. CURRENCY EXCHANGE: You can change US Dollars for Mexican pesos at the Marriott CasaMagna. Most establishments in Puerto Vallarta will accept US Dollars for purchases. There are also several banks in town. CALLING HOME: Hotels have a service charge for long distance calls, so please check with the hotel operator for rates. Please note that long distance calls are expensive, and it can be much more cost-effective for people to call you from abroad than for you to call them. CLIMATE: Puerto Vallarta is located in the middle of Mexico's Pacific Coast. It is sunny and warm this time of year. Temperatures during June and July average a high of 92 deg and a low of 70 deg F. There can be occasional showers; if so, they come and go quickly, in the afternoon. GETTING AROUND: Downtown Puerto Vallarta is a ten minute ride from the Marriott. Taxis are plentiful and inexpensive, costing about US$3-US$5 for the ride. Taxi drivers will generally accept USD in payment for a fare, but sometimes their exchange rate is lower than the rates offered by banks and and hotels. ********************************************************** PODC/SPAA PROGRAM ********************************************************** (Also, see http://www.cse.ogi.edu/~gil/podcspaa98/program.html) SUNDAY, JUNE 28, 1998 --------------------- 13:30 - 15:30 Tutorial 1 Algorithmic Problems in Internet Research George Varghese, Washington U. 16:00 - 18:00 Tutorial 2 High Performance Clusters: State of the Art and Challenges Ahead David Culler, U.C.
