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 170 Queen’s Gate (http://www.170queensgate.co.uk), which is almost next door to 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]
The Queensgate Hotel ([2]) is particularly convenient (right across the street) and is recommended by previous visitors.
We will soon post a suggestion for a less expensive hotel within a convenient (e.g., half-hour) distance, such that attendees on a budget can stay there together if they should wish to do so.
In general, if you need a cheaper option, there are cheaper hotels; our experience with them is mixed. We do have had good experience with this agency, which offers rooms in private homes: [3] You should expect a significant commute of course.
Excursions
There will be an excursion one afternoon during the meeting time.
