EDUGRAPHICS '93
First International Conference on Graphics Education

COMPUGRAPHICS '93
Third International Conference on Computational Graphics and
Visualization Techniques

6-10 December 1993
Hotel Alvor Praia Alvor Algarve Portugal


REGISTRATION
------------

In the interest of all participants, the registration fees have been set
as low as possible. The organization has made very careful estimates in order
to avoid unnecessary overloads. The charges are not only way under what is
practiced in the majority of other related events (take a look at
Eurographics '93 and Siggraph '93 - and we don't have that kind of background
financial support !), but also represent a good bargain for they apply
simultaneously to the two conferences. A pre-conference tutorial, entitled
"Fundamentals of Computational Graphics and Visualization ", is planned.
Information and program sent on request.

Registration fees, in Portuguese Escudos, include reception, coffee breaks,
the conference banquet and the proceedings. Registrants will be free to
attend sessions and lectures of the two events at their will. The deadline
shown is FIRM.

(received) Until October 29 After October 29

Delegates 60.000$00 70.000$00
Authors & ACM/SIGs Members 50.000$00 60.000$00
Graduate students 45.000$00 55.000$00
Students (not being authors) 30.000$00 30.000$00
Pre-conference tutorial 30.000$00 30.000$00
Tutorial + Conference : subtract PTE 10.000$00 from the sum of the
individual fees.

ACCOMMODATION
-------------

The organization has been able to negotiate special accommodation rates for
the Alvor hotel complex. As can be seen, these rates are rather low for 5- and
4-star hotels, especially in Algarve. We call your particular attention to the
very good-valued full-board rates. We believe therefore that all attendees
will be pleased with the arrangements made on their behalf.

All rates are per night and per person, in Portuguese Escudos, inclusive
of service and taxes.

LOCATION and TRANSPORTATION
---------------------------

The Alvor hotels (Alvor Praia and Delfim) are located near the village of
Alvor (2 kms), in one of the best places in Algarve (south of Portugal). The
beaches are fabulous and the weather is great even in December ! Main
distances (kilometers) : Lisbon - 280, Faro (airport) - 70, Albufeira - 40,
Sagres - 50, Lagos - 20, Portim/Praia da Rocha - 5, Spain (Ayamonte) - 120,
Seville - 270.

To reach the Alvor complex from the Faro International Airport one can take
the train in Faro to Portim and then a taxi to the hotel but we really do not
recommend this alternative, nor the many bus routes. Participants are advised
to take a taxi. A one-way fare costs about PTE 8.000$00.

Our proposal is, however, a car rental. Starting from PTE 15.000$00 a week
(yes, about the price of a round trip Faro-Alvor by taxi !), attendees can
rent a good new car, with unlimited mileage, insurance and taxes (only
adding PTE 300$00 a day for personal insurance if desired). We believe this will
be the best for all, especially if the car is shared, with the obvious
advantage of having transportation all the time. Interested participants
should contact the rent-a-car company indicated below, mentioning the
reservation code "COMPUGRAPHICS", in order to benefit from the conference
special rates. Please note that you can take or leave the car in several
cities, and at the airports of Lisbon, Faro and Oporto. Rates for less or more
than a week are available on request.
