CONFERENCE FORMAT
Over 150 invited contributions will be presented orally or in poster form. The
conference
sessions will be in the morning (approx. 8.30 - 12.30) and then in the early
evening
(17.00-19.00), with the afternoon free for informal discussions and relaxation.
Due to
the
number of topics that will bepresented, parallel sessions will be organized. All
participants,
however, will be given the opportunity to hear at least one keynote speaker on each
of the
conference topics. Wednesday, June 15 is a free day. An all-day conference
excursion is
planned and is included in the registration fee.
The conference proceedings will be published by SPIE, The International Society for
Optical
Engineering. The price of the proceedings is included in the registration fee.

CONFERENCE SITE
The conference will take place at the Kalimera Kriti Hotel and Village Resort,
located 45
km
east of Heraklio, Crete, next to the village of Sissi. The resort complex is a
4-star
Hotel and
Village Resort complex, consisting of the main building and three villages of
single and
two-story air-conditioned bungalows. Laid out over 200,000 m2 of land, Kalimera
Kriti is
surrounded by green and colorful gardens extending to two private sandy beaches.
There
are several swimming pools on the resort grounds. Tennis courts are available as
well as
various aquatic sports.
TRANSPORTATION
Heraklio, Crete, is served by numerous direct charter flights from various cities
of
Western
Europe, by several daily Olympic Airways (OA) flights from Athens (30 min flight
time),
and
several boats from Piraeus (the portof Athens). Those arriving by plane in Athens
via any
carrier other than Olympic Airways (OA) and plan tocontinue to Heraklio by air,
must claim
their luggage upon arrival in Athens and then transfer to the West Terminal. This
transfer can
be done by taxi (cost about 6 US$) or by regular OA buses. There are several
scheduled OA
flights each day. Please check with your local travel agent for details. Those
wishing to
go to
Heraklio by boat, should proceed to the Piraeus harbor. A taxi or a direct bus
from the
air
terminal to the port of Piraeus can be used. Ferries that sail to Heraklio depart
on
19:00 hour
arriving at Heraklio on 6:00 next morning. Escorted bus transportation between the
Heraklio
airport, Heraklio port and Kalimera Kriti (on June 8 and 9) and return on June 15
will be
provided by the conference.
