10th-12th March 2005, The Senate Room, University of Glasgow.

10th March: there will be an informal reception from 17.30-20.00 approximately. The venue has to be finalised but it is likely to be in the Department of Computing Science.

11th March: The second evening is left free because there will be an early departure to catch the ferry on the Saturday morning. We can organise tours of local pubs, including some Jazz and real-ale venues. We can also organise trips to more 'cultural' events including the Scottish National Opera, Ballet and Theatre companies.

12th March: we hope to encourage as many delegates as possible to stay on until the Saturday. The intention is to provide an opportunity for discussion about the issues and topics that were raised during the workshop. We have, therefore, organised a day on Arran - a small Island off the West Coast of Scotland. Depending on the level of demand, we can arrange strenuous walks (up Goat Fell), light walks, mountain biking, cycle tours and a visit to Brodick Castle, Robert the Bruce's refuge on his passage to Ireland. Here is the timetable for the Ardrossan-Brodick ferry. You can return on any of the sailings, most of which will connect with a train back to Glasgow Central Station. There is tourist information about Arran.

The workshop will be held in Glasgow itself to ease international travel. However, Glasgow also provides a convenient base from which to explore the Weste rn Highlands and Islands.
