[Air-L] Submission deadline for CATaC'12 extended + URGENT housing information

[Charles Ess]

Dear Colleagues,
In response to continuing requests, we are extending the submission deadline
for CATaC'12 to March 31, 2012, with final notification of acceptance by
April 5, 2012.  Deadline for earlybird registration, as noted below, is
April 20, 2012.

We continue to solicit either full papers (10-15 formatted pages), short
papers (3-5 formatted pages), and/or panel proposals.
To submit a paper and/or panel proposal, please find your way to
<www.catacconference.org>, click on the Submissions tab, and then find the
red-lettered "Click here to submit your papers and panel proposals" which
will take you to the submission site.

The conference website has also been updated with new information regarding
travel, accommodations, and conference venue.  (These are accessed via links
on the right side of the page.)
Please see the fee schedule and earlybird deadline information below. The
conference registration page on the website will open before the week is
out.

PLEASE ALSO NOTICE: FOR THOSE CONSIDERING ATTENDING CATaC'12, we strongly
encourage you to go ahead and book your preferred accommodations *NOW*.
CATaC'12 will be simply one among many (and in some cases, much larger)
conferences taking place in Aarhus in June and accommodation possibilities
are already becoming quite tight.  We are fortunate to have a block of rooms
for CATaC participants reserved in the Hotel Mercur at Viby Torv
(<http://www.hotel-mercur.dk/uk/>). The hotel, however, is a convenient but
25-minute bus ride from the conference venue.
* Several other possibilities, closer in town, are listed and linked to from
the accommodation page.*
Bookings made now, of course, can be cancelled later - usually up until a
day or two before arrival - without penalty.  Even if you are not certain of
attending - e.g., you need to await final decision on a proposal, etc. - it
would be better to book now and decide to cancel later (should it come to
that) than encounter every-growing difficulty in acquiring a room
reservation.
