ICANN 2005 Workshops

Full-day workshop will be held at the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Torun, after the main conference on Thursday, September 15th. Transportation by buses from Warsaw to Torun on Wednesday evening will be arranged. For this extra day we plan to have separate volumes of the Springer Studies in Computational Intelligence (possibly also Studies in Fuzziness and Soft Computing or Advances in Soft Computing) focused on a single topic (details will be fixed later with Janusz Kacprzyk, the Editor-in-chief of those series); special issues of journals may also be arranged by workshop organizers.
 

The 25 Euro registartion fee includes transportation, lunch and workshop publication costs.

Please contact the organizers of particular workshops directly if you want to participate actively (for example by giving a short presentation) in a workshop.

Travel back to Warsaw

The trains to Warsaw leave from Central Railway Station(Torun Glowny) at 5:56, 7:28, 11:24, 13:56 and 18:50. The journey takes about 3 hours. Direct buses leave from the center of the town and take about 4 hours, going also to the Warsaw Central Railway Station. We do not recommned them because they are slower.
