1996 CSG MEETING
The 12th annual meeting of the Control Systems Group will be at
Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff AZ, from Wednesday, July
17 until Sunday, July 21, 1996.
The sessions will be organized as in the past: plenary sessions
mornings and evenings, beginning Wednesday evening, with
afternoons open for more informal (if that's possible)
discussions and demos, rest, and recreation. The content of each
session will be determined at the first meeting Wednesday
evening, and depends on who is willing and prepared to talk about
what. Topics at previous meetings have included various aspects
of theory and modelling of the organization of living systems,
human and otherwise; and applications in experimental psychology.
education. sociology, management and organizations, therapy and
counselling, etc., etc. If you have a paper to present, plan to
bring 30 copies or so for people to read, so that your session
can be primarily for discussion and questions.
The cost will be $265 single, $225 double (each), $210 for
students. These are higher prices than in the past, but that's
the breaks. Transportation costs to Phoenix, a hub airport,
should be lower than to out-of-the-way Durango. From Phoenix
there are shuttle busses to Flagstaff ($21 each way), but the
first is too early, the second will get you there too late for
dinner, and the third, too late for the Wednesday night session.
If everyone lets me know their arrival time in Phoenix, I can try
to match people up to share rental cars (which would be nice to
have to see sights around Flagstaff afternoons). In scheduling
your flight, it may help to know that it's 140 miles on the
Interstate from Phoenix to Flagstaff, and the dining hall on
campus closes at 6:30.
The CSG has funds to subsidize conference costs for students and
those on limited incomes.
We are not completely mad to have a conference in Arizona in
July. While average July highs and lows in Phoenix are 105 and
74, in Flagstaff (at 7000 feet) they are 82 and 50. Lots to see
and do within an afternoon's range, but if you want to come early
or stay over after the meeting for trips further afield, plan on
finding a motel; NAU rooms are not available except with meals
and for conferences. You can stay on campus Tuesday night, but
the charge is $50 and does not include meals.
Further details (maps, brochures, etc.) will be mailed to
registrants. Please register early, and be sure to include
arrival time in Phoenix if you are flying (or let me know when
you know). Registration is $30 (students $15). The final date
for registration and full payment is July 5. Mail to Mary A.
Powers, The Control Systems Group, 73 Ridge Place, Durango CO
81301-8136.
For those who cannot attend the meeting but would like to support
the CSG, membership is $20 (students $5).
