    The sixth European Conference on Object Oriented Programming
    ------------------------------------------------------------

                        29 June - July 3, 1992
                       Utrecht, the Netherlands

ECOOP'92 is the sixth European Conference on Object-Oriented
Programming. It will be held in Utrecht, the Netherlands, from June 29
to July 3, 1992. It continues the tradition of previous years, when
ECOOP was held in Paris (France), Oslo (Norway), Nottingham (England),
Ottawa (Canada, jointly with OOPSLA) and Geneva (Switzerland).

The ECOOP conferences are a platform for researchers and practitioners
from academia and industry to discuss and exchange new developments in
object-oriented languages, systems and methods. The program of events
for ECOOP'92 provides an excellent starting point for these stimulating
discussions.

Conference Venue:
  ECOOP'92 will be held in the Jaarbeurs Congress Centre in Utrecht.
  The "Jaarbeurs" is within walking distance of the city centre of
  Utrecht, and very near to Utrecht's central train station. The
  address of the Jaarbeurs is:
      Jaarbeurs Congress Centre
      Jaarbeursplein
      2521 AL  Utrecht
      The Netherlands

Transportation to and in Utrecht:
  Utrecht is one of the largest Dutch cities, and it is situated right
  in the centre of the Netherlands. Public transportation within
  Utrecht (by bus and tram) and to other parts of the Netherlands (by
  train) is excellent. Trains to other major cities such as Rotterdam,
  the Hague, and Amsterdam leave approximately every half hour, and
  take 30 to 60 minutes. Since the conference venue is very close to
  the central station, and Dutch roads and parking places are crowded,
  it is not advisable to rent a car.

  Utrecht does not have its own airport. A train-ride from Schiphol
  (the international airport of Amsterdam) to Utrecht takes about 60
  minutes. Trains from Schiphol to Amsterdam central station leave
  every half hour. There you can get a connection to Utrecht central
  station.

Accommodation:
  Hotel bookings are handled by the Utrecht Tourist Office (the "VVV").
  An application form is enclosed. It should be returned to the tourist
  office no later than May 1, 1992. For further information, you can
  contact the tourist office:
      Hotelreservations VVV Utrecht
      Vredenburg 90
      3511 BD  Utrecht
      The Netherlands
      Phone: +31 30 331544
      Fax:   +31 30 331417

Registration
  The registration for the conference is handled by Novep Conference
  Organizers in Amsterdam. Questions about registration, payment, etc.
  should be directed to them. You can contact them at:
      Novep Conference Organizers
      Paulus Potterstraat 40
      1071 DB  Amsterdam
      The Netherlands
      Phone: +31 20 664 5876
      Fax:   +31 20 662 8136

  - Copy the following registration form and fax or mail the completed
    form to Novep Conference Organizers.
  - All prices are indicated in Dutch guilders (Dfl) and are including
    VAT.
  - The conference fee includes a copy of the proceedings, reception,
    refreshments, and lunches on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
  - The tutorial fee includes a copy of the tutorial notes,
    refreshments, and a lunch.
  - The early registration fee is only applicable if payment is
    received before May 1, 1992.
  - The reduced rates are only available to members of the British
    (BCS), Norwegian (DND), Dutch (NGI), Austrian (OCG), and Swiss (SI)
    computer societies.
  - The student rate is only available to full-time students. A
    photocopy of a valid student card, or other proof of student status
    has to be included with the registration form.
  - You will receive a confirmation of your registration as soon as
    your payment is received.
  - The organisation of ECOOP reserves the right to cancel a tutorial.
    In the event of cancellation you will be given the option of
    attending another tutorial.

Cancellation:
  Notification of cancellation must be sent to Novep Conference
  Organisers. Cancellation made prior to June 1, 1992 will be subject
  to a 25% cancellation fee. After this date fees are non-refundable. A
  substitute can be sent in place.

  In the event that any one of the advertised speakers is, for reasons
  outside the control of the organisation committee, unable to attend
  the conference, the organisation committee reserves the right,
  without notice, to make such alteration or substitution as it deems
  fit. Delegates will have no claims against the organisation
  committee, in respect of such alteration or substitution.
