The location for WOSBIS'97/MobiCom'97 is the Palace of the Hungarian Academy
of Sciences. The Academy is the most prestigious scientific institution in
Hungary, and the Palace, the central building of the Academy, is one of
the most beautiful buildings in Budapest. It is located on the Pest side
of Budapest, east of the Danube River, near the Chain Bridge. The Palace
overlooks the northern end of Roosevelt Square, along the embankment of
the Danube River. Built between 1861 and 1865, this neo-Renaissance
building is decorated, both inside and outside, with sculptures and
wall-paintings by the most outstanding Hungarian artists of the age.
The conference hotels are all located nearby, and many of the sights
and shops of Budapest are within easy walking distance.
Budapest is easily reached by air, rail, road, or river. Budapest's
airport is served by a number of major world airlines, with nonstop
flights from many foreign cities. For transportation from the airport
to your hotel, we suggest the LRI MINIBUS Service. The information desk
for this shuttle service is located in the center of the airport arrival
lobby. You can order this service inside the baggage claim area as well.
The price of the shuttle is 1200 Hungarian Forint (HUF) per person
(approximately US $7-8) one way.
Citizens of some countries may require entry visas to visit Hungary. No
visa is needed for citizens of the USA, Canada, or any of the European
countries, except Albania, Turkey, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan. A visa is
needed for citizens of Japan and Australia. If in doubt, please check
this with the Hungarian Embassy in your country. They will help you to
complete the necessary entry formalities.
The registration of WOSBIS'97 is through ACM/IEEE MobiCom'97.
