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.
