Dear Members of Petri Nets and ACSD Communities, We're all witnessing the tragic events in Japan and on behalf of our communities we would like to express our support and hope to people in Japan, including many personal friends and colleagues.
After consultations with the Japanese organiser, Kunihiko Hiraishi, it has been decided that the PN and ACSD 2011 conferences cannot take place in Kanazawa, Japan. There is simply not enough evidence that it will be safe to travel to Japan less than three months from now. In the meantime, alternative options for hosting the conferences have been explored, and we just received the final confirmation from Maciej Koutny that it will be possible to organize the two conferences in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, during the original period June 20-24, 2011. Therefore, IT HAS BEEN DECIDED THAT THE PN AND ACSD 2011 CONFERENCES WILL BE HELD IN NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, 20-24 JUNE 2011 with Maciej Koutny and Alex Yakovlev as organisers. In the next couple of weeks, new conference websites will be constructed, providing all the necessary registration, travel and accommodation information. We strongly recommend to continue the submission of papers to the planned workshops and to start planning your trip to attend the meeting, and passing this message to your friends and colleagues to ensure that the joint conference will be a success.
