January 7-9, 1999
Thompson Conference Center
The University of Texas at Austin

Preliminary Program (Subject to Change)

This year's format will have parallel sessions.  Each session will be 2.5 hours (plus break).  Each session will begin with the presentation of a number of position papers addressing related topics.   Each presenter will be given up to 10 minutes.  Within one hour, all presentations will be completed.  The remaining time will be devoted to open discussions of these presentations and related topics.  The Session Moderator may ask the presenters to be panel members, in order to structure the discussions.

Thompson Conference Center (TCC) is located on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin.   TCC is located next to the L.B.J. Presidential Library/Museum and the L.B.J. School of Public Affairs.  TCC and its parking lot are located at the south-west corner of 26th (Dean Keaton) Street and Red River.  To reach TCC from the Hyatt, travel north on I-35 and exit at 26th Street.  The LBJ parking lot is one block west of I-35.  (Click here to see a map of TCC, the LBJ School and Museum). 

Our meeting rooms at TCC are on the second floor. Meeting rooms are 2-120 and 2-122.  The third room (2-110) will be used for registration, lunches, demonstrations, and private meetings.
