			    July, 19-24, 1999

Dear colleagues,

We have now a list of hotels which will be used to host the participants 
of CRASP. In this message we also give some further informations on the 
conference and at the end you will find a registration form. 

One can also register directly in our webpage, where all the informations 
on the conference is also available.  We shall keep the list of 
participants there (please check if your registration has been 
received by us looking at this list). The webpage of the conference is 

		http://www.ime.usp.br/~crasp

For those who have already registered we ask to send us your option of 
hotels as soon as possible (we will not complain if you re-send the whole
registration form). 

Recall that the deadline for submitting an abstract (and also 
for the reduced registration fee) is April, 15th. 

Looking forward to see you here in Sao Paulo, our best regards,

			Organizing Committee CRASP



===============================  Hotels  =============================



Below you will find a list of hotels and their prices.  They are located 
in the so-called "Jardins", which is a very nice part of the city with 
many restaurants, museums, shops, etc. They are also very closed to 
each other. 

To book a room you should send us your options (together with your 
registration form) and we will take care of it. All of the hotels listed 
below have limited number of rooms reserved for us and we shall try to 
allocate the participants according to the given options. 

The conference buses will leave to the University from (or very close 
to) the following hotels: Blair House, Four Seasons, and Lorena Flat. 
In our opinion, Blair House, Four Seasons and Poeta Drummond are more comfortable than Lorena Flat.  The prices are fixed in Reais (the 
Brazilian currency, also indicated by R$) and they are guaranteed for
those registering before April, 15th. We expect that the hotels will keep 
these prices after that, but we can never be sure.   

Remarks.
(i) Concerning the exchange rate. The exchange rate in March/99 is 
US$ 1 = R$ 1,90 (before the economical crisis of January it was
US$ 1 = R$ 1,20). It seems that it is more or less stable by now and 
the optimistic say that the Real will regain its value against the Dollar 
slowly until reaching the rate US$ 1 = R$ 1,70 by the middle of the year. 
We shall keep the rate updated in our webpage.   
(ii) The flats bellow have normally, besides the bedroom(s), a private 
bathroom, a small living room and most of them a small kitchen (the 
exception being the flat for three persons in the Lorena Flat).
(iii) The prices include breakfast. 


-  FOUR SEASON (Rua Cardeal Arcoverde, 201)  
This Flat has been inaugurated less than one year ago.  They have 
two kinds of apartments: (i) with one bedroom for one or two guests; 
and (ii) with two bedrooms, one with two beds and the other with a 
single bed (for at most three guests). The prices are: 
		Single 		R$   80,00
		Double		R$  100,00
		Triple		R$  130,00
The conference buses will serve this hotel.


-  BLAIR HOUSE (Alameda Franca, 1645, 200 meters from Lorena Flat)
They have flats with one or two beds. The prices are: 
		Single 		R$   89,00
		Double		R$   92,00
The conference buses will serve this hotel. 


-  LORENA FLAT (Av. RebouíÂs, ) 
They have flats for up to three guests. The flat for three guests 
normally do not have kitchen, but all have frigobar. The prices are: 
		Single 		R$   84,00
		Double		R$  101,00
		Triple		R$  122,00
The conference buses will serve this hotel.


-  POETA DRUMMOND (Rua da Consolaîåo, 3101)
They have flats with one or two beds.  The prices are: 
		Single 		R$  100,00
		Double		R$  120,00
This hotel is not going to be served by the conference buses, but 
it is located at 300 meters from Lorena Flat, which is going 
to be served by them.


- POUSADA ZILAH.
We have a very limited number of cheaper rooms (preferently reserved 
to the students) in a Pousada very close to the hotel Blair.  Those 
wishing one of these rooms should contact the organizers via e-mail to 
crasp@ime.usp.br.



===========================  Financial support =========================


We are expecting to have a (limited) amount of money to help the 
participants with difficulties in getting financial support from other 
sources.  Please state in your registration form if you want to be 
considered for such support. We shall have a final position of this 
matter by June.

Those wishing to present their work in one of the contributed 
sessions should submit an abstract by April, 15th. The final 
programme will be arranged on the basis of abstracts provided by 
participants and it will be availabe June, 15 in the internet. 



=======================    Abstracts   ==========================


The deadline for submiting an abstract is April, 15, 1999. 
We appreciate if the abstract is submitted via e-mail to 
crasp@ime.usp.br in a TEX/LATEX file. It should be no longer than 
one page and should clearly state the results to be presented. 
We shall distribute to all participants the abstracts obtained 
in time. 



===============  Registration/ registration fee  ================


The registration can be made either in the internet or by 
returning the form below  via e-mail to crasp@ime.usp.br or via 
the ordinary post or by FAX (see the directions below). 
The registration fee for those registrating before April, 15 is 
US$ 80,00 and after that it will be US$ 100,00. The students pay 
half of these values. The payment can be made in the first day 
of the conference. The registration fee includes the scientific 
material to be distributed, the coffee breaks, the transportations 
between the hotels and the University and the wellcome reception. 


==========================   Hotels   ============================

We are negotiating with some hotels in a central region of Sao 
Paulo called Jardins and a list of them will be available 
by March, 1999. The approximate prices will be in the range  
US$ 55 - 70 for a single room, US$ 80 - 100 for a double room 
and US$ 75 - 105 for a triple room per day. We are also trying 
to get some cheaper accomodation for the students. 


=========================  Proceedings   ==========================


We are planing to publish the proceedings of the  conference 
consisting of refereed papers submitted by the conference 
participants. Further informations will be given later on. 


=====================  Social events    ===========================

A wellcome reception will take place in the Campus on Monday, 19, 
after the talks. 
For Wednesday, 21, in the afternoon, we are organizing an excursion. 
More details will be available later on in the internet.
On Saturday, 24, after the talks in the morning we are organizing 
a celebration lunch in a Churrascaria.  Althought the main 
dishs are meat, vegetarians will also be wellcome and far from being 
disappointed with the salad buffet it will be also provided. 



======================   How to get there   =======================



The international airport of Sao Paulo (Guarulhos) is located 
30 km away from the city. A good bus shuttle service is available 
to get you downtown and costs about US$ 9,00. From there you will 
need a taxi for a short ride to the hotel.
A taxi from the airport to the hotel will cost you about US$ 40,00. 
A more precise information of how to go to the hotels by bus/taxi 
will be available later on in the internet. 
We expect that most participants will arrive on Sunday, 18 and so we 
are organizing for this day a direct transportation to the hotel. 
Additional transportation could be organized if a group of 
participants arrive at the same time in some previous day.  Please 
let us know at your earliest convenience the precise date, time and 
flight number of your arrival in Sao Paulo in order to help us 
in the organization of this transport.



=====================  and how to survive   =========================


The brazilian currency is called real (meaning royal in portuguese).  
The exchange rate is now (january/99) R$ 1,45 for each american dollar 
but it is expected some turbulency in the next months.  We shall keep 
the exchange rate updated in our webpage in the internet. 
We recommend you to check with the closest Brazilian diplomatic 
office whether or not you will need a VISA to visit our country.
We usually say that the weather in Sao Paulo in July is a tropical 
winter (we can either have warm sunny days: 10-24C, or rainy cool 
days: 6-15C. Sweaters,  jackets or light overcoats are usually
enough for these periods).
