The practice at these workshops has been to allow the speaker ample time to get to technical details. There should be lots of opportunities for extensive small group discussions; we will not cram the schedule with lots of short talks. The talks are given on primitive chalkboards. Please do not prepare slides for a data projector or plastic transparencies.
Nate Foster is organizing a parallel workshop on something related to networks.The workshop runs from 14th March 2025 to 21st March 2025 and will take place at the Bellairs Research Institute in Barbados. The arrival date is 14th of March, which is a Friday. On Saturday we will try to organize an excursion: either a tour of the island, or a boat ride to see the turtles. The technical program will start on Sunday the 16th and will end on the 20th. We are expected to vacate the premises by mid-afternoon on the 21st. Directions and things to know: The airport is on the east-south point of the island and Bellairs is on the west side in the Parish of St. James (about a 40 minute taxi drive).
Here is a map of Barbados. We will arrange shared taxis from the airport, but the participants will be expected to pay for them. If you end up coming at an odd time and have to take your own taxi, tell the taxi drivers to take you to Bellairs Research Centre in Holetown. Holetown is small and Bellairs is on the main street - it is just north of Folkstone Park. When filling in the Immigration form at the airport give the address as Bellairs Research Institute, Holetown, Parish of St. James. Barbados is relatively safe and one shouldn't worry about travelling alone during the day. US currency is freely accepted at 2 Barbadian dollars per US dollar. Other currencies (Pound sterling, Canadian dollars) are not accepted; you will have to change them at banks or at the airport. Some people had trouble using their bank cards from Europe, but Canadian and US cards seem to work fine. At the airport if you go around to the departures side just after you arrive you will find cash machines there; strangely there are no ATMs at the arrivals area.
Good things to bring are suntan lotion or dark skin, mosquito repellent, swimwear, papers/books/stationary and light clothing (it will be pleasantly warm or unbearably hot depending on what you are used to). There is wireless hookup for laptops so you can bring your own laptop.
Rooms booking will be made by Alexandra Silva and Prakash Panangaden please do not contact Bellairs staff directly. Please email Prakash Panangaden or Alexandra Silva to find out details of room bookings and rates. Payment is made by credit card.
