The CAV series is dedicated to the advancement of the theory and practice of 
computer-assisted formal analysis methods for software and hardware systems.  
The conference covers the spectrum from theoretical results to concrete 
applications, with an emphasis on verification tools and the algorithms and 
techniques that are needed for their implementation.

CAV 96 is part of the Federated Logic Conference (FLoC), July 27 - August 3, 
1996.  In addition to CAV, FLoC includes the following related conferences: 
IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS), Rewriting Techniques and 
Applications (RTA), and Conference on Automated Deduction (CADE).  CAV 
overlaps with CADE, and participants registering for CAV can attend CADE 
sessions, and vice versa.

                               LOCATION
                               ========

The conferences will be held at the College Avenue Campus of Rutgers
University in downtown New Brunswick, which is easily accessible by air,
train, and car.  For air travel, New Brunswick is 35 minutes from Newark
International Airport, a major US and international airline hub.  By rail,
the New Brunswick train station is located less than eight blocks from the
conference site and is on Amtrak's Northeast corridor.  For travel by car,
the conference site is approximately three miles from Exit 9 of the New
Jersey Turnpike.

A postscript map of the College Avenue Campus is available on the web
(address at the beginning of this announcement).  Conference check-in and
on-site registration will take place at the Main Lounge entrance on the
second floor of the Rutgers Student Center.  Evening registration is possible
on 30 July till 19:00, and on regular conference days, the registration desk
will be open from 8:00-18:00.  Conference sessions will take place in the
Rutgers Student Center.

Climate
-------

New Jersey in July and August is typically hot, with average daily highs
around 85 degrees F (29 degrees C), and overnight lows around 70 degrees F
(21 degrees C).  Most days are sunny, but also come prepared for the
possibility of occasional rain.

Things to do
------------

The newly opened Liberty Science Center is a fun, hands-on science museum
located in Liberty State Park, about 30-45 minutes from New Brunswick
(201-200-1000).  From Liberty State Park, one can also take a ferry to the
Statue of Liberty and the Immigration Museum at Ellis Island.

New York City can be reached in under an hour by rail on New Jersey Transit.
Trains run about twice an hour during the week, and once an hour on weekends
and at night.  Fare is $7.75 one-way, $11.50 round trip excursion.

The New Jersey shore is less than an hour from New Brunswick.  Points along
the shore vary greatly in character.  Some, such as Point Pleasant, have long
boardwalks with amusement park rides, video arcades, etc.  Others, such as
Spring Lake, are quiet and uncommercialized with clean and very pretty
beaches.  Further south, about two hours from New Brunswick, are the casinos
of Atlantic City.

You can walk for miles and miles along the towpath of the peaceful Delaware
and Raritan Canal which runs from New Brunswick south past Princeton.

Your registration packet will include a pass for access to the College Avenue
Gymnasium.


                            SOCIAL EVENTS
                            =============

A reception will be held in the Faculty Club on Wednesday, 31 July,
20:00-22:00 in conjunction with the business meeting.  A joint banquet for
CADE and CAV participants will be held on Thursday, 1 August, on the Spirit
of New Jersey Cruise Ship.  Buses will leave for the cruise from the Hyatt at
18:30.  The boat will cruise the Hudson River with spectacular views of New
York City, including downtown Manhattan and the Statue of Liberty.  Amir
Pnueli will give a talk after dinner.  The cost of the banquet is $57 per
person.  Banquet tickets may run out; please sign up as soon as possible to
assure your place.


                                TRAVEL
                                ======

Travel advisory: The 1996 Summer Olympics will take place in Atlanta from 19
July to 3 August, 1996.  Travel to the East Coast will be especially heavy
during these times.  It is strongly recommended that you make airline
reservations as early as possible.

By air: Newark International Airport is by far the most convenient.  A taxi
from the airport to New Brunswick costs about $40 (plus nominal tolls) for up
to four passengers.  This is the flat-rate fare for a licensed taxi from the
official-looking taxi stand; it is strongly recommended that you refuse rides
offered by unlicensed taxi drivers who may approach you elsewhere in the
airport.  If renting a car, follow signs out of the airport to New Jersey
Turnpike South, and continue with the directions below.  By public
transportation, take the Airlink bus ($4 exact fare, operates every 20
minutes) to Newark Penn Station and follow the "by rail" directions below.
New Jersey Transit train fare is $5.25 one-way or $8 round trip excursion;
trains run about twice an hour during the week, and less often in the evening
and on weekends.

For those arriving at JFK International Airport, there is a shuttle bus
operated by Princeton Airporter (phone 800-468-6696).  The shuttle stops at
Newark Airport (fare $19; follow the above directions) and the East Brunswick
Hilton (fare $29; approximately a $7 cab ride to the conference site).  The
shuttle leaves JFK at 9:00, 11:00, 13:00, 14:00, 15:00, 16:00, 17:00, 18:00,
19:00, 20:00, 21:00, 22:00.  Advance reservations are not possible. For
information and reservation contact the ground transportation center on the
baggage level.  A taxi from JFK to New Brunswick costs approximately $120 for
up to four passengers.  Driving from JFK to New Brunswick may take up to two
hours, and is not recommended if you are not familiar with the area.

By car: Take the New Jersey Turnpike (south from Newark or New York, north
from Philadelphia) to Exit 9.  Follow signs onto Route 18 North or West
(labeled differently at different spots) toward New Brunswick.  Take the
Route 27, Princeton exit onto Albany Street (Route 27) into downtown New
Brunswick.  The Hyatt Regency Hotel will be on your left after the first
light.  If staying at the Hyatt, turn left at the next light, Neilson Street,
and left again into the front entrance of the hotel. If staying in the dorms,
continue past this light to the following light, George Street, and turn
right.  Stay on George Street to just before the fifth street and turn left
into the Parking Deck.  If staying in the dorms, go directly to the
appropriate dormitory.  It is a short walk to Hardenbergh or Stonier.
Parking passes will be provided to all conference registrants who need one.

By rail: Take either an Amtrak or a New Jersey Transit train to the New
Brunswick train station.  This is located at the corner of Albany Street and
Easton Avenue.  If staying at the Hyatt Regency Hotel, it is a three block
walk to the left on Albany Street to the hotel.  If staying in the dorms, go
directly to the appropriate dormitory.  It is about a six block walk to
Hardenbergh or Stonier.  There is also a taxi stand in front of the train
station on Albany Street.


                            ACCOMMODATIONS
                            ==============

We have established the group rate of $89/night for one single, double,
triple, or quadruple room at the Hyatt Regency Hotel (about eight blocks from
the conference site).  This rate is only guaranteed through 28 June 1996,
and, due to limited availability, it is strongly recommended that you make
reservations as soon as possible.

We have reserved dormitory space in two dorms, both of which are an easy walk
to the main conference site.  Dorm reservations must be made by the early
registration deadline of 21 June 1996.  Both dorms include daily maid service
(linens provided first day for the week and daily fresh towels and beds
made), and are fully air-conditioned.  The Stonier Hall dorms have suites
with one shared bedroom and one shared bathroom.  Only a block away, the
Hardenbergh Hall dorms have single rooms with baths shared on each floor.  If
you elect Stonier Hall and do not specify a roommate, a roommate of the same
sex may be assigned to your suite.

Please specify your dorm preference on your registration form; we will assign
space accordingly on a first come, first served basis as long as rooms are
available.  Unfortunately, because there are only a finite number of rooms
within each dormitory, we can neither guarantee your choice of dormitory nor
your preference of dates.

Note that the accommodations include breakfasts and some dinners (on those
nights that do not have banquets).  Sorry, but we cannot give rates on rooms
without meals, or on rooms on different dates other than those listed below.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

We have reserved dormitory space in two dorms, both of which are an easy walk
to the main conference site.  Dorm reservations must be made by the early
registration deadline of 21 June 1996.  Both dorms include daily maid service
(linens provided first day for the week and daily fresh towels and beds
made), and are fully air-conditioned.  The Stonier Hall dorms have suites
with one shared bedroom and one shared bathroom.  Only a block away, the
Hardenbergh Hall dorms have single rooms with baths shared on each floor.  If
you elect Stonier Hall and do not specify a roommate, a roommate of the same
sex may be assigned to your suite.

Please specify your dorm preference on your registration form; we will assign
space accordingly on a first come, first served basis as long as rooms are
available.  Unfortunately, because there are only a finite number of rooms
within each dormitory, we can neither guarantee your choice of dormitory nor
your preference of dates.  Check-in will take place at each dormitory.
Check-in hours will be 14:00-22:00 on 26 July and 16:00-22:00 on 29-30 July.

Note that the accomodations include breakfasts and some dinners (on those
nights that do not have banquets).  Sorry, but we cannot give rates on rooms
without meals, or on rooms on different dates other than those listed below.

All fees are in U.S. Currency.  Please circle the applicable fee.  Payment
due with registration.  Please include this form with your payment.
