Conference Announcement

This is a preliminary announcement of the ninth annual meeting of  
The Control Systems Group, to be held on the campus of Fort Lewis  
College, Durango, Colorado, from July 28-August 1.

Registration will begin in April, and forms will be available  
then.

The approximate cost will be $225, for a single room, meals from  
Wednesday dinner through Sunday breakfast, and membership in the  
CSG. A shared room will be about $185, and the cost for students  
sharing a room $145. We can waive fees for three students, and  
will decide among applicants for the waiver on June 1. Guests are  
welcome, and extra nights in the dorm are available for those who  
want to ride the steam train, visit Mesa Verde, etc. For those  
who want further information on the attractions of Southwestern  
Colorado, or on off-campus accomodations, write DACRA, 111 S.  
Camino del Rio, Durango CO 81301.

The CSG conference is small and informal. There are seven plenary  
sessions, mornings and evenings, with afternoons and Sunday  
morning free for further discussion or recreation. We welcome  
formal papers for distribution, but presenters should be brief  
and prepared for numerous interruptions and questions. This is  
because most of your audience will be in fields remote from  
yours, though all share a common understanding of PCT. It is this  
simultaneous disparity and unity that make CSG conferences so  
interesting and enjoyable.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Mary Powers

Are you trying to use CSG '93 as a "real" conference, with  
submissions open to everyone, review of articles, proceedings? If  
you're not big enough for that yet, do you aspire to be?

I'm asking because I'd like to cross-post this to a variety of places  
(at least CYBSYS-L), and if so, a "real" CFP would be appropriate,  
including some descriptve information about HPCT, answers to the above  
questions, etc.
