Oulu, with a population of ca. 100 000, is the sixth biggest city in Finland and the center of the northern half of the country. Thriving on tar, navigation and shipbuilding in the 18th and 19th centuries, the town has now proclaimed itself a city of technology. Oulu can be reached from Helsinki by air and by train. There are several flights every day from Helsinki to Oulu (flight time one hour, distance 600 km). By train the trip takes approximately 8 hours. The Linnanmaa campus can be reached from downtown Oulu by bus or by taxi. Bus numbers 4, 6, 7 and 16 drive from the city center to Linnanmaa Time tables are available at the Secretariat. The trip takes about 15 minutes and a ticket costs FIM 5.10 (after 23 o'clock FIM 10.20). A taxi from downtown Oulu costs about FIM 40. The address of the conference site in Finnish is: Oulun yliopisto, Linnanmaa, ovi V1 (University of Oulu, Linnanmaa, door V1). Information about special transportations during the conference will be available at the conference hotels and at the registration site. REGISTRATION The registration fee will be 1300 FIM before April 15th, 1989 and 1500 FIM afterwards. The fee for participants covers: entrance to all sessions, panels and exhibition; proceedings; get-together party, city reception, banquet and coffee breaks.
