In order to guarantee the quality of the workshop, we deliberately limit attendance. We guarantee a spot for all presenters but not everyone that wishes may get a chance to attend. We give priority to principal authors and a limited number of co-authors.

On Line Registration
On-line Registration All attendees can register here. Financial Aid recipients: please register online using the "Financial-aid Registration" option. You will be notified whether you are a financial aid recipient Before the early registration deadline. Do not select the "Financial-aid Registration" option unless you have received explicit approval from the Financial Aid chair Steve Greenwald.See below for information about qualifying for financial aid.
If you have any problems with on-line registration, contact the Registration Chair, Carol Taylor.
Paper receipts will be provided at the workshop.
All registrations and payment must be received by August 18th. In order to qualify for the early registration discount, registration must be completed by August 10th.
If you plan to arrive earlier or leave later than those dates you should contact the hotel and make separate arrangements for payment. See the information on the main NSPW page for Location and Activities.
A very
limited amount of partial financial aid exists for needy persons. The deadline
for requesting financial aid is July
30th, Greenwald and the Vice Chair, Matt Bishop, bishop@cs.ucdavis.edu
by the deadline.
A U.S.
Social Security Number (SSN) or U.S. taxpayer ID is required in order to obtain
financial aid without U.S. income tax being subtracted (please do not send this
information with your initial application). Also, due to requirements from our
sources of funding, all airline travel must be done on a U.S. flag-bearing
airline unless there is absolutely no alternative (i.e., there is no
U.S. flag-bearing airline that services your region). US-DOD per-diems are in
effect for meals, etc. If your application is approved and your travel
is covered, you must also get the lowest fare(s) possible.
The final
decisions regarding financial aid will be made and communicated to applicants
on August 7th, 2007
(in time for the early registration deadline).
Note that
recipients of financial aid when registering, with the on-line registration
system, must select the Financial Aid registration option since you will not be
paying directly for your registration with your credit card.
Please note
that financial aid is very limited and is therefore based on need;
applicants must have exhausted all other avenues to fund their attendance at
the workshop other than out-of-pocket expenses and must sign a statement to
that effect before receiving reimbursement. NSPW financial aid is not an
alternative and/or replacement for other sources of funding. Its purpose is to
help people attend the workshop who would otherwise be
unable to attend or would suffer considerable personal expense. All financial
aid requests must be approved in writing/email from either Matt Bishop or
Steven Greenwald.
In making an
application for financial aid, applicants must give full details of anticipated
expenses and also an explanation as to why full funding cannot be obtained from
other sources. In practice, financial aid is intended to cover the registration
fee, and in a very small number of cases, a contribution towards transportation
costs. Given the limited nature of NSPW financial aid, Ph.D. students, speakers
and other students will get top priority. Remember: receiving unneeded
financial aid may prevent the attendance of, or cause unreasonable personal
expense to, a more needy applicant. You should
have no expectation of timely reimbursement.
