The executive summary is that the Miniconference is happening on Wednesday, February 16 at UC Berkeley. We will start at 8:00am with a breakfast and have a dinner from 6-8pm.
If you plan on attending, please register: http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/ptconf We don't have a block of hotel rooms. See the venue page on the conference web site for some recommendations. I don't recommend renting a car, parking is very difficult around campus -------------- Below are the details: The Ninth Biennial Ptolemy Miniconference will be held on Wednesday, February 16, 2011 at the University of California, Berkeley. (Note that the following day (Thursday, February 17, 2011) is the Berkeley EECS Annual Research Symposium (BEARS) which is a department-wide open house. We will host a poster session on that day. For information about BEARS, see http://www.eecs.berkeley.edu/BEARS/) The Ptolemy project (http://ptolemy.org) studies modeling, simulation, and design of concurrent, real-time, embedded systems. The focus is on assembly of concurrent components. The Ptolemy Miniconference is an opportunity for research collaborators and Ptolemy users and extenders from industry, academia, and government to get together, present their work to the Ptolemy community, and hear about related research and results. It is typically held every two years. In addition, the miniconference will act as an annual meeting for the Center for Hybrid and Embedded Software Systems (CHESS, http://chess.eecs.berkeley.edu). At miniconferences in the past we have had presentations and posters from organizations worldwide, plus members of the Ptolemy project describing current research at Berkeley. Please register for the conference. Registration will close on February 11. In the past, the conference has sold out, so we recommend registering early.
