2006 Symposium on Interactive Visual Information Collections and Activity (IVICA)
http://www.csdl.tamu.edu/IVICA IVICA Information & Update First, let me
thank you all for your interest in and, in many cases, help with IVICA. I expect it will generate a lot of
interesting conversations. IVICA is meant
to be a community enhancing event.
Because we are running this "on the cheap" to keep it
reasonable for everyone, this is not quite like most ACM conferences. As you know, it is being held on Texas
A&M campus, rather than getting space at a hotel. The result is there are a few
inconveniences regarding getting to and from events (as nothing is really
within walking distance in You are all
invited to Tamra's and my house on Friday evening around 7pm. There will be plenty of finger food (cheese,
crackers, chips, dips, etc.) and Texas Barbeque so you can make this your
dinner as long as you don't mind real casual fare. I suggest that you meet in the lobby of the
Hilton at 7:00 pm and carpool over to my house (it is a 10 minute
drive). I know of at least 3 rental
cars. Also, Haowei Hsieh has
graciously volunteered to pick people up on his way and I am sure I can find
student drivers, if needed. For Saturday and
Sunday morning, we will start at 10 am in room 302 of the Harvey Bright
Building (HRBB). I recommend meeting
in the lobby at 9:30 and carpooling to campus. There are park-and-pay spaces in the
Northside Garage which is on Saturday evening
is our reception dinner at Messina Hof.
We will coordinate transportation at the meeting. Let me know if there are any guests that
are not registered for IVICA but that would like to go to the reception
dinner. Regarding Well, that is
about it. If you have questions,
please contact me. I look forward to seeing you all in --Frank Shipman
