Papers for the proceedings

Proceedings (in a book form) of only refereed
papers (up to 8 pages for contributed talks and up to 12 pages for key lectures) will be 
published (tentatively) by Springer-Verlag of their Lecture Notes in Computer 
Science. Each paper publication must be covered by separate registration fee.

Currency:

The Bulgarian currency is called LEVA (BGL). At present it is exactly equal to

1.95 BGL = approx. 1 EU

This means 1.6 BGL approx. = 1 USD at present.

Traveling Information

You have two choices:

TRAVELING VIA SOFIA.

There are regular buses approximately on each hour. The bus takes about 4-4.5 hours depending on the trafic. The buses start from the parking in front of central railway station or from the parking in front of Hotel Sofia Princess on the other side of the street. There are also 4 trains starting from central railway station: 8h30min, 15h10min, 19h30min, 22h30min. The trip by train takes approximately 7 hours: http://www.bdz.bg

Transportation to Central Railway Station from Sofia Airport

By bus: Take the bus line # 84, bus stop Hotel Pliska, then take the bus line # 213, 313, 305 or 413, bus stop central railway station. The price of one bus ticket is 0.50 BGL. You should buy it before entering the bus.

By taxi: We recommend you to use a taxi company with a set price, and to ask for the price before entering the taxi.The distance to the central railway station is approximately 15 km.

Also, we will arrange a bus, or a minibus(es) to Ruse. The bus will start on June 28, 2004, between 14:00 and 16:00 (depending on the last flight with participants). For those of you who wish to go by the conference bus and whose flights come on one of the previous days we will arrange hotels in Sofia.
Similarly, we will arrange a bus from Ruse to Sofia on July 3, 2004 (early morning). The bus will combine the excursion Ruse-Veliko Tirnovo-Arbanasi-Gabrovo. We are planning one overnight in Gabrovo (in a hotel/student dormitory) and early morning on July 4 some of the participants willleave for Sofia, other will come back in Ruse. The cost will be negotiated in the near future but not more than 15-20 BGL for a one-way ticket.

TRAVELING VIA BUCHAREST.

There are three trains per day between Ruse and Bucharest. The distance is about 75 km but it takes at least 2 hours because you are passing the border. There will be a new time table for the trains starting from May 27, 2004. Therefore, we will supply the exact times of departure from Bucharest in May. Detailed information for how to get from the airport to the railway station, and then to Ruse will be sent to those who would like to use this opportunity.
