                      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.

includes 
the
conference proceedings (to be published as a separate volume).   The registration

suite,
and $165/night for single occupancy.  The price includes full breakfast and dinner

between the
ages of 2 and 12 pay $65/night when sharing a room with their parents.  For 
participants
arriving before June 9, or staying after June 15, the hotel price is $115/per
