(Michael: several items here particularly concern NAACSOS. If there are
other NAACSOS people who should be on the SwarmFest email list, just
tell us their name & email.)

2) Questions about the web site:
a) Please send updates on the Organizing Committee page
You can delete Ropella and Johnson.
Add Scott Christley if you want; Pietro Terna (University of Torino;
address@hidden); and Michael North (Argonne National Laboratory;
address@hidden)
b) Call for papers is a placeholder. The absolute deadline for
registration is May 20; the block of rooms are freed up after that
date. Please send suggestions.
I circulated a draft yesterday; will finish it up tomorrow after anyone
submits comments.
c) Registration fees:
The registrations fee structure used at SwarmFest 2004 and earlier is
difficult to implement, since we don't have good records of who is a
SDG member (or do we?). Since SwarmFest 2006 will overlap with NAACSOS,
that groups fees may also be of interest (see below). Any discussion or
recommendations on what the conference fees should be this year?
I suggest we skip the member/non-member distinction and just go with
student, academic, and other categories.
In fact, should we just adopt the same schedule as NAACSOS to eliminate
any concerns about people paying for the cheaper conference and
attending the other? Then allow anyone who paid for either conference to
attend both?
Student: $100.00
Faculty: $200.00
Industry/Government: $300.00
This might give an incentive for a few people to pay for SwarmFest
instead of NAACSOS's membership fee. But we won't even be doing
registration for SwarmFest until after the 1st day of NAACSOS so they
can do any policing they want.
-----------------NAACSOS Conference
Fees------------------------------------------
Student (NAACSOS Member): $100.00
Student (Non Member): $150.00 - includes membership fee
Faculty (NAACSOS Member): $200.00
Faculty (Non Member): $300.00 - includes membership fee
Industry/Government (NAACSOS Member): $300.00
Industry/Government (Non Member): $400.00 - includes membership fee
After May 20, registration fees increase by $50.00
