IFIP Working Group 2.11, Fifteenth Meeting

November 9-12, 2015, London, England

The meeting will be held in London, England, hosted by Paul Kelly (Imperial College). The meeting will last 3.5 days, the first three days (Nov 9-11) will be full-day, whereas the last day (Nov 12) will be a half-day session ending with lunch (note: an email wrongly indicated the meeting as being Nov 9-11, as should be clear from this page, the duration is Nov 9-12 ending in a half day).

There will be an excursion, details to be announced.

Venue

The venue will be the Department of Computing at Imperial, and is in the heart of London’s “Museum Quarter”.

Travel

Train: London has good train connections to much of northern Europe (Paris < 2.5 hours, Amsterdam < 5 hours). London has five airports: Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, London City and Luton. All are roughly 1-1.5 hours from Imperial. Heathrow and London City are somewhat cheaper since they're on the tube network.

Accommodation

Imperial's conferences office offers support in finding accommodation options [1], we suggest one of the following two options:

• The Queensgate Hotel ([2]) is particularly convenient (right across the street) and is recommended by previous visitors.
• London Town Hotel (15 Penywern Rd, Kensington and Chelsea, London, SW5 9TY, United Kingdom) which is not too far and cheaper than Queensgate, see booking.com [3] and tripadvisor [4]

In general there are many other hotels to choose from. In particular, if you need a cheaper option, there are many cheap hotels; our experience with them is mixed. We do have had good experience with this agency, which offers rooms in private homes: [5] You should expect a significant commute of course.

Excursions

There will be an excursion one afternoon during the meeting time.
