Hi all, Soon it will be Sunday, which means day zero of ICAPS! The summer school has gone really smoothly, the students seem to have enjoyed themselves and we had a good meal this evening. Tomorrow's schedule: 08:00 - Registration in the King's Building main entrance. This will be quiet, nominally only DC students. Dan and I can handle it. 08:30 - The DC schedule starts: -- Tanja: cover K2.31 -- Claudio: cover K2.40. Nothing is being videod, so there's no set-up. Your task is to keep an eye on time - some folk are rehearsing conference talks, so be strict on time. 10:00 - DC coffee break. More Pret, but let's streamline it: 08:00 - At the registration desk: I will ask people if they want tea or coffee, black or white (no complex options, smoothies, ...) 09:55 - I will go to Pret and order exactly these drinks 10:00 - You bring your students, just to crowd source carrying drinks back and to get people to stretch their legs 10:05 - They take their drinks and leave 10:10 - 20 minutes of coffee break left with snack in DC session 12:00 - Council meeting starts. Me/Dan/Amanda are out of action for the rest of the day from this point on. I have more free time than Dan/Amanda do, but I also have other things to be doing. 12:20 - DC lunch. This is not provided, but be friendly to the DC students and help them find somewhere. 13:30 - Lee's talk. 14:15 - Afternoon session of DC. Remember, Claudio: the K2.40 session needs to relocate to K2.41 (in the next room) as.... 15:00 - ICKEPS kicks off in K2.40. 15:45 - DC talks finish. Go take a 3-hour power nap. I'm not joking. Recommended are the couches outside Peter's office, or the seats in S-2.18. 19:45 - Those who are going - meet outside the King's building in the quad to head to the DC dinner at Masala Zone: https://www.google.co.uk/maps/dir/51.5113307,-0.1163418/Masala+Zone+Covent+G... I won't be there as I'll be at the council dinner. Food is paid for already. ICAPS will cover £15 of drinks per person, please make sure this is known. That brings the drinks budget to £525 (or £590 after 12.5% service charge), and I'm sending cash with the party to settle up. There's one guy who due to his dietary requirements can't eat the food there, so will just be coming for drinks. Lee (one of the DC chairs) has been vague about whether he's coming to the meal, as he's also involved with ICKEPS. Pete (the other DC chair) is ignoring my emails so he might or might not be there, let's see. Fabio, on the other hand, actually exists. Hi Fabio! See you tomorrow, Andrew -- Dr Andrew Coles Lecturer Department of Informatics, King's College London Room: S6.14, Tel: +44 (0) 20 7848 1511
