------------------------------------------------------ Time Schedule --- Version 3 --- for the Genetic Programming 1996 Conference to be held on July 28 - 31, 1996 (Sunday through Wednesday) at Stanford University. ------------------------------------------------------ GP-96 conference events are centered around Fairchild Auditorium which is located adjacent to the Stanford Medical Center and the four-story Beckman Center Building at Stanford University. Conference registration, coffee breaks, and the Monday evening session for posters and late-breaking papers are in the lobby of Fairchild Auditorium. All the plenary sessions, some tutorials, and some break-out sessions are also in Fairchild Auditorium. Various break-out sessions and tutorials are in the nearby Stanford Medical Center on the ground floor in Rooms M-104, M-106, M-108, and M-112. The Sunday evening wine and cheese reception is at the Elliott Program Center located near Governor's Corner on Campus Drive and Santa Teresa Street overlooking Lake Lagunita. The Monday night reception is at the Faculty Club which is located adjacent to the Tresidder Student Union. There is a free red bus with several routes traversing the Stanford campus as well as the downtown Palo Alto train station (which is across the street from the Holiday Inn on El Camino Real avenue in Palo Alto). Each conference attendee will receive copy of proceedings (unless one was shipped to them on July 11), the late-breaking papers book, up to 5 tutorial books, T-shirt, and badge (which provides admission to conference sessions, the Sunday evening wine and cheese reception, and the Monday evening reception). There is a canteen and indoor tables and an outdoor courtyard with tables in the basement of Beckman Building and there is another canteen in the nearby Medical Center building with indoor and outdoor tables (near M-104, M-106, M-108, and M-112).
