district and only 100 yards from the picturesque San Antonio Riverwalk, in
downtown San Antonio. Star shuttle provides service from the San Antonio
Airport (from the baggage claim area) to all downtown hotels for a cost of \
$7.00 per person and $4.00 for each additional person. A guided tour featuring
the Alamo, a row through the picturesque San Antonio river e.t.c. is available
at additional cost (see registration form for details)

Lodging Arrangements
The Sheraton Gunter has set aside a block of rooms for $95 single/double per
night. To make reservations please call (210)227-3241 before November 18. A
list of other area hotels is available on request. Please contact Uthra
Venkatraman at (409)845-1870, FAX (409)847-8578 or email uthra@cs.tamu.edu for
more information.

Conference Site
San Antonio is the ninth largest city in the United States. The glitter and
glamour of the large city is blended with almost 300 years of history, creating
a unique atmosphere. The San Antonio river walk is a walk alongside the
beautiful San Antonio river, which is surrounded by quaint cafes and is
beautifully landscaped. The walk will be lighted up for Christmas. La Villita,
San Antonio's original settlement and El Mercado, the Mexican maket, are
situated nearby. So is the Alamo, where a small band of Texans were besieged by
Santa Anna's huge army in 1836. Sea World, the world's largest marine life
theme park, featuring Shamu, the killer whale, is also a must see in San Antonio
Fiesta Texas is a park located beneath 100-foot cliffs and a waterfall and
features rides, restaurants, shops and special events in four themed areas:
Hispanic, German, Texas 20's Boomtown and 50's Rock 'n' Roll. The Mission Trail
is America's most complete Spanish Colonial mission complex. Attending the
Mariachi Mass on Sunday at Mission San Jose is a unique experience.Hemisfair
park, the Rivercenter Mall, the Institute of Texan Cultures, the McNay Art
Museum, the Witte museum, Brackenridge Park, and the San Antonio Zoo are other
attractions of this great city, to name a few.
