Dagstuhl
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dagstuhl is a computer science meeting faculty near the town of Wadern, Merzig-Wadern county, Saarland, Germany. It is located in a historic country house Schloss Dagstuhl (Dagstuhl Castle), together with modern purpose-built buildings connected by an enclosed footbridge, near Wadern in Saarland near the French border.
The Internationales Begegnungs- und Forschungszentrum für Informatik (IBFI, International Meeting and Research Center for Computer Science) was established at the Schloss in 1990. The center is managed as a non-profit organization, and is sponsored by a variety of German and foreign research institutions.
Following the model of the mathematical center at Oberwolfach, the center is installed in a somewhat remote and relaxed location in the countryside. The number of participants is limited, if only by the available housing capacity. The stay is full-board; participants are accommodated in the original house or in the modern annex, and have all their meals at the castle.
Seminars are usually held for a weekly period: participants arrive on Sunday evening and depart on Friday evening or Saturday morning. One, sometimes two seminars, are held simultaneously.
IFBI has an excellent computer science library with a full set of Springer-Verlag's Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series and electronic access to many computer science journals.
