Some participants will be accommodated in the hotel
Continental at
Kounicova 6 (phone number (++420-5) 41 519 111) offering 30% discount
for reservations arranged by CONCUR 2002 participants before July 15
(when booking in the hotel use the password "CONCUR 2002 -
Masarykova Universita"). The hotel is on the same street as hotel
Druzba, but it is closer to the city center. The conference venue is
still within a comfortable walking distance (15-20 minutes
walk). Alternatively, trolley-bus line 132 goes from the
"Smetanova" stop to the "Botanicka" stop, which is
very close to the conference venue (see the
map).

Internet access
Access to computer rooms
There is a computer hall available for the participants in the bulding B
(see the plan of the
venue). There are also two
smaller rooms B116 and B117 accesible from the computer hall. There are
WWW browser, SSH client, telnet client, FTP client and the e-mail
(POP-3) reader installed on all of the computers. Users can log in with
user name "concur" and password "con2002". All the
users' data are shared.
There will be a limited number of seats for connecting notebooks using
the 10baseT ethernet in the room B204. Users have to set up their
computers to obtain an IP address and the DNS server name dynamically
from the DHCP server. Usually this can be set up in the "network
configuration" dialog, the "TCP/IP protocol" submenu, and
the checkbox called "select IP address
automatically".
Wireless local network
There is a wireless network available in the faculty campus. The network
complies to the IEEE 802.11b standard and covers most of the campus area
including the courtyard. The exception is the computer hall and the
basement of the building B.
For connecting to the wireless network it is necessary to have a
computer with the wireless interface compliant to the Wi-Fi (Wireless
Fidelity) specifiaction. The network name (also called ESSID) has to be
set up to the string "wlan_fi" and the encryption has to be switched
off. The computer has to be configured to obtain an IP address and the
DNS server name dynamically from the DHCP server (see above).
Conference dinner
Conference dinner takes place in the hotel Santon near the Brno dam on
Thursday evening, August 22. A special tram for CONCUR participants
departs at 19:15 from "Tabor" tram stop situated near the
university hotel Druzba (it is
not the nearest tram stop - see the
map). Even if you miss the special tram, you can use an
ordinary one (line 3 or 11) going in direction "Bystrc" and go
to the "Pristaviste" stop. Then ask about the way to the hotel
Santon.
There will be also a special tram for the way back, departing at 23:45
from the "Pristaviste" stop.
