* C o n f e r e n c e S t a t u s S u m m a r y
* The advance conference program has been set in late December
1996. Consult the program below to see which papers will be
presented.
=
* Registration is now possible; see registration details below
or consult our registration page on our conference home page.
* IMPORTANT: To register, print off the registration page and
send it to the conference registration office along with your =
payment. You will receive a notification and a receipt as =
soon as the payment has been processed. =
THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER MAIL COMMUNICATION.
All communication prior to the conference will be done by an
EMAIL list on which you will be registered if you give us
your email on the registration form. We plan to send out a =
final conference program about 4 weeks before the conference.
The full conference package will be provided at Whistler.
* Make your hotel reservation with the Delta Whistler directly.
Indicate on their WEB page (or call or fax them) that you are
ISESS 1997 participant, in order to receive the conference =
hotel rate. You must have registered for the conference =
before you can make a reservation with the hotel.
* Travel details from Vancouver to Whistler can be found on =
our home page too. There is a regular cheap shuttle service
from Vancouver airport.

Air Canada, the official ISESS 1997 conference airline, offers
special fares for ISESS 1997 delegates. In order to receive the
special fare, just consult your local travel agent and indicate
that ISESS 1997 has Air Canada as official airline. Give your
travel agent the following event reference number:
CV 972 131
Air Canada provides this offer world wide, along with its =
international partners (like United and Lufthansa).
* W H I S C E I - The Whistler Short Course on
Environmental Informatics
Several universities have combined their teaching efforts in
a multi-disciplinary, international joint university course.
This course is run before, in parallel and after the =
conference. Students will also participate at the conference.
In principle, this course is open to everyone, also to further
faculty and to industry and government institutions. The course
gives an overview on environmental informatics principles,
problems and applications. If you are interested in this =
course, please contact us (David Swayne or Ralf Denzer) =
directly.

Computer Society (GI).
=
The purpose of the symposium is to present and discuss =
the progress and actual trends in this area in terms of =
methods, tools and state-of-the-art applications.

ISESS Whistler 1997: A conference on environmental informatics
with a venue that you'll not forget.
Whistler Mountain and its companion Blackcomb form the backdrop
for arguably the premier ski and outdoors alpine recreation
location of North America, loacted just 105 kms North of Vancouver
(rated amongst the 10 most beautiful cities in the world). =
The route to Whistler uses the breathtaking Sea to Sky highway =
North from the city.
The conference venue is the elegant Delta Whistler Resort. Special
conference rates have been negotiated (CDN$ 109+tax). Arrangement
for computers and connections to the internet are available right
at the hotel.
Transportation from Vancouver airport to Whistler is very
inexpensive and frequent.
