CS 8422 Course Title, Dr. Instructor Copyright © 2004, Dr. Instructor 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.

CS 8422 Course Title, Dr. Instructor Copyright © 2004, Dr. Instructor 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.

CS 8422 Course Title, Dr. Instructor Copyright © 2004, Dr. Instructor 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.

CS 8422 Course Title, Dr. Instructor Copyright © 2004, Dr. Instructor 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.

CS 8422 Course Title, Dr. Instructor Copyright © 2004, Dr. Instructor 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.

CS 8422 Course Title, Dr. Instructor Copyright © 2004, Dr. Instructor 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.
