  Our funding agencies require that we charge a registration fee during the course of the workshop. Registration fees include participation in the workshop, all workshop materials, breakfast, lunch, breaks and any scheduled social events (if applicable).

  *College/University faculty and employees of non-profit organizations will automatically receive the reduced rate. Other participants may apply for a reduction of fees. They should email their request for the reduced fee to the Workshop Coordinator at workshop@dimacs.rutgers.edu. Include your name, the Institution you work for, your job title and a brief explanation of your situation. All requests for reduced rates must be received before the preregistration deadline. You will promptly be notified via as to the decision about it.

  **Fees for all DIMACS Members are covered through their institution's membership in DIMACS and therefore no DIMACS Memeber needs to pay the registration fee. If you work for a DIMACS institution and would like to become a member, please contact your unit's DIMACS representative for information on how to join. (See http://dimacs.rutgers.edu/People/Unitlist.html for unit representatives) or send a message to spassion@dimacs.rutgers.edu.

• Information on Accommodations

• Information on Travel Arrangements

• Parking Permit

  Parking permits will be available at the registration table on the day of the meeting.

• Important Reimbursement Information

  Attendees who have been offered support should keep two rules in mind. Reimbursement for air travel can only be made for travel on US Flag Carriers, REGARDLESS OF COST. (For example, travel on airlines such as United, Continental, USAir, and others that are United States based are allowable. Travel on airlines such as Lufthansa, SAS, Air Canada and other airlines based outside the US cannot be reimbursed by DIMACS.)

  The second rule to keep in mind is to get original receipts for all reimbursable expenses.
