Location
--------
AAGR-92 will be held at Schloss (castle) Weinberg near Linz in Austria.
Rooms and meals will also be provided at the castle.

Schloss Weinberg is an old castle (with documents mentioning it date back
to 1305) in the "Muehlviertel", the hilly region north of Linz.
It has been completely renovated in the 80s, and since 1988 it has
been used as a center for conferences, workshops etc.
In a quiet and pleasant atmosphere visitors can both concentrate on
their professional exchange and relax in their spare time.

Address:   A-4292 Kefermarkt, Weinberg 1
Telephone: (0 79 47) 65 45
