Forms

I will post on the course web site:• Request for authority to travel• Reimbersement Expense report



Semiars/Lectures

• The program over the four days is divided into sessions, with a number of lecture/seminar/courses choices available for each session.

• Some courses will be multi-part.• Often, the first day of the conference has

all-day tutorials.

• Each student must select in advance your seminar choices, which will be entered by computer by Wanda when she makes your conference reservation.



Seminar/Lectures

• You can change your choices in advance, or at the conference.

• Generally, I have no trouble attending different lectures and sessions than what I originally signed-up for.



Trade Show

• Allow some time to view the exhibits/vendor booths. These can be fairly educational, and give you an idea of the state-of-the-art, and industry directions.



Small Paper

• Keep in mind:• You will need to write a small paper on one

topic that interested you from the conference.

• This is NOT just a rehash/overview of the seminar, but must go beyond the seminar content, and be sourced.

• I will read and grade these papers.



Air Travel

• Air Travel in the age of heightened security.• Tips many of you may already know:1. Travel light: only one carry-on bag, and one

checked bag.2. Airport security metal detectors:

1. Take out all change, cell-phones and metal objects, and place them in your carry-on bag.

2. Remove your belt and place it in your bag or on a tray to go through the detector.

3. Wear shoes without metal inserts – but plan on removing your shoes at the metal detector anyway.

4. Allow time for long waits.5. Don’t engage the security folks in conversation,

or argue with them about anything – this will lead to closer scrutiny and more potential delay.



Computers

• If you bring your laptop, the MSACS will NOT pay for high-speed or dial-up access charges.

• Internet kiosks will likely be available.



CS8940 Meetings

• I will announce future class meetings and postings, otherwise, we will NOT meet as a regularly scheduled course.
