If you're driving there yourself, you should first get to Inverness (from Glasgow, either take the A80/M80 to Stirling then the A9 past Aviemore, or take the A82 to Fort William then along Loch Ness). From Inverness you need to take the A9, then either the A832 or the A835 at Tore (they merge again later, stay on the A835 for Ullapool).
Alternatively, there is a shortcut from the A82 at Drumnadrochit on Loch Ness to the A832 on the A833 which avoids Inverness if you come that way and want some excitement en route (there's a moderately steep hill and snowpoles).

The nearest railway station is also at Inverness. Again, let me know if you're coming this way (with your alternative arrival/departure times), and we'll try to merge transport requirements.

Tel: +44-1854 612103 Fax: +44-1854-612886I don't have a map, but I remember it as being on the far side of town from Inverness (Ullapool only has one main street, from memory, having gone through most of the town, you need to turn off this to the left; the hotel is near the loch).
Last year there was some confusion as to the status of a paper published in the FP workshop proceedings (which is published in the Springer-Verlag Workshops in Computing series). Just to be clear then: a paper published in the workshop proceedings does count as a refereed publication. However, we are very happy to put your paper in the draft proceedings (which we produce before the workshop), even if you do not intend to put it in the formal workshop proceedings.
Formatting instructions are given below. The deadline for papers to appear in the DRAFT proceedings is 14:00, WEDNESDAY 5TH JULY.
If you're at Glasgow, please email me the filename of your paper (generated using the instructions give below - which should work correctly even if your paper contains PostScript figures). Please ensure the file is readable by me :-)
Non-Glaswegians, please email me either:
The style file for the final proceedings will be wicsbook, as before. Please DON'T use this for the draft proceedings: the margins will be wrong and you'll waste a lot of space.
Please contact me if you have any problems,
IV-2
is the second page of the fourth paper in the proceedings. We will assign you a paper number once we have been informed what papers are being submitted.
We intend to print the draft proceedings 2-up, reduced by 70%, so don't be too alarmed if the text appears large when printed on A4 paper.
Please use your own judgement to resolve other formatting issues. Note that the sizes of the top and bottom margins are most critical since we need to bind along the long edge of the paper.

Glasgow users: the file fp-workshop.sty is already installed. Everyone else
will need to extract fp-workshop.sty from this message and put it somewhere
where LaTeX can find it (eg. the same directory as your paper).
