LOCATION

The conference will be held at the Technopark campus which houses
state-of-the-art meeting facilities.
Technopark is an electronic technology park located in Trivandrum.
Accommodation for participants will be available in the hotels at the
nearby Kovalam beach resort.

Trivandrum(Thiruvananthapuram, the City of the Endless Serpent)
is located near the southern-most tip of India.
It is the capital of the state of Kerala.
With its golden beaches and emerald green
palm trees, it is a popular tourist destination.
Trivandrum is home to
some leading scientific and technological institutions in India
including the Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre,
and the Centre for Earth Science Studies.
The city has a number of tourist attractions.
Places of tourist attraction include Raja Ravi Varma's dramatic
paintings at the Chitra Art Gallery, buildings from colonial
times which combine indigenous architectural styles with
European ones, the Napier museum with a fine 
collection of bronzes, and the Oriental manuscript library which preserves 
ancient palm leaf manuscripts.
