IMPORTANT DATES
CONTACT INFORMATIONGeneral UKPEW email <ukpew99@cs.bris.ac.uk> ORGANISING COMMITTEENeil Davies <neil@cs.bris.ac.uk> HOW to GET to BRISTOLHere are some directions to Churchill Hall, once you've got to Bristol. Here is a more detailed map that will be useful for finding the venue. A bus service exists from Bristol International Airport to Temple Meads railway station; it will be a lot cheaper than a taxi, for getting into Bristol. Once at Temple Meads Churchill is only 10 minutes away by taxi or another bus will take you up onto Durdham Downs and right past Churchill. |
This
workshop is the primary event at which the UK performance community can
get together to present and discuss their work. Whilst primarily
aimed at UK based performance engineers, we also welcome contributions
from researchers working in other countries and those whose interest in
performance is derived from experience in other fields. It provides an
ideal opportunity for academics, industrialists and PhD students to relate
experience and to present both finished work and work in progress. The
event has been organised to sustain the atmosphere of informality that
previous UKPEW's have fostered. As well as sessions for presenting
the papers submitted, it will also be possible to organise a session of
short presentations of work in progress. Similarly, we will also be able
to organise tool demonstrations, on request; please contact a member of
the organising committee as early as possible with your requirements.
