LOCATION
--------
IPMI 95 will be held at the Conference Centre of "Ile de Berder". The site is
located on a small island, 50 meters from the shore, in the gulf of Morbihan on
the south coast of Brittany, France. The surrounding area is famous for its

enjoys mild and sunny weather in June.
It is easily accessible from Paris by high speed rail (TGV).

COSTS
-----
The fee for accomodation, full board and registration will be less than 3000 FF
(US$ 500). It is expected that partial subsidies for travel, registration and
accomodation will be available for first authors of accepted papers and for a
limited number of students who wish to attend the conference.
