IFIP Working Group 2.11, Thirteenth Meeting

March 17-20, 2014, Pittsburgh, USA

The meeting will be held at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) in USA, March 17-20, hosted by Christian Kästner. The meeting starts March 17 in the morning, and ends with lunch on March 20.

We will meet on the CMU campus in the Gates-Hillman Center. Attached is a campus map for your reference http://www.cmu.edu/homeimages/campus-map/CMU_MapColor_11x17.pdf#11


Travel

The Pittsburgh International Airport is quite well connected in the US. The only direct flight to Europe is to Paris a few days a week.

The airport is somewhat outside of the town. You can either take a taxi (30-40 min, about 50-60 USD incl. tip) or the 28X bus (60-80 min, every 30 min, 3.75 USD cash only, no change given). The bus takes a pretty direct route and stops directly in front of the hotels (the Hilton is at the bus stop "Forbes Av at McKee Place"). Its final stop is right in front of the CMU campus. Here is a map: http://www.portauthority.org/maps/28x.pdf

The hotels are within walking distance from campus (15 to 30 minutes), but there are many buses running along Forbes Avenue and 5th Avenue as well, especially all 61 buses which should go every 10 minutes or so. When going toward campus, you pay when exiting the bus, when going toward downtown you pay when entering. It's a bit confusing but the bus driver will tell you. Again, cash only, no change. All hotels have shuttles that you can arrange to drive you anywhere within a 3 mile radius, including campus.

Accommodations

We recommend to stay at the Hilton Garden Inn, Pittsburgh University Place where we have reserved a block of rooms for attendees. Follow this link to make reservations: http://ow.ly/qho6O. You can also make reservations over the phone at +1 412-683-2040.

When booking your room, please make sure to use our special rate quote "CIS" at $119/night. The rooms will be held through February 16, 2014 so be sure to book before then. For more information on the Hilton Garden Inn, see link http://pittsburghuniversityplace.hgi.com


If you prefer a different hotel, other hotels within walking distance include Hampton Inn ($119) and Wyndham ($144) and many more are a short bus trip away. If you choose to stay at another location, aside from the Hilton Garden Inn, please contact Jamie Lou Hagerty at jpresken@cs.cmu.edu to arrange reservations at the university rate.

Sunday trip to Fallingwater

Fallingwater is a house designed by architect Frank Lloyd Wright in 1935. It's a place worth visiting and roughly a 75-minute drive away from Pittsburgh. There are guided tours through the house. See http://www.fallingwater.org/ and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallingwater for details.

For those arriving already on Saturday, we could rent a car/bus and arrange a trip to Fallingwater on Sunday March 16. The tour costs $23 and shared costs for the trip are probably $10-$25 per person. In a previous poll we had a number of people interested. If your interested, leave your name below and Christian will contact you for a more detailed organization two weeks before the meeting.
