Accommodation options

1. Campus accommodation is the preferred option. I have reserved accommodation on campus for the conference. This will cost € 52 per night (single). Includes a light breakfast. Each room has own bathroom, internet, etc. A common living area is shared among six rooms.
This option is also suitable for couples - they will be assigned two rooms but the rooms all have double beds. With this option, you will have a nice walk to the conference over the scenic River Shannon.
2. B&B (Bed and breakfast) can be obtained within walking distance of the University at rates ranging from €40 to €70 per person. This option includes a full Irish breakfast. May be more attractive to couples. More information later, giving contact details.
3. Hotel: There is one hotel within walking distance. More information later.

Note: All these prices are in Euros.

Successful Authors Notified

All the authors of papers accepted to the 2009 SIGMIS CPR conference have been notified through the Easychair system - thank you Easychair!

In total we received forty papers for consideration and accepted 28 (a 70% acceptance rate).

Thanks to everybody who submitted and commiserations to those whose papers were not favoured by the reviewers.

Thanks especially to the reviewers, many of whom provided excellent, detailed and helpful reviews in the tradition of SIGMIS CPR.
