Dear Colleagues, In response to continuing requests, we are extending the submission deadline for CATaC'12 to March 31, 2012, with final notification of acceptance by April 5, 2012. Deadline for earlybird registration, as noted below, is April 20, 2012. We continue to solicit either full papers (10-15 formatted pages), short papers (3-5 formatted pages), and/or panel proposals. To submit a paper and/or panel proposal, please find your way to <www.catacconference.org>, click on the Submissions tab, and then find the red-lettered "Click here to submit your papers and panel proposals" which will take you to the submission site. The conference website has also been updated with new information regarding travel, accommodations, and conference venue. (These are accessed via links on the right side of the page.) Please see the fee schedule and earlybird deadline information below. The conference registration page on the website will open before the week is out. PLEASE ALSO NOTICE: FOR THOSE CONSIDERING ATTENDING CATaC'12, we strongly encourage you to go ahead and book your preferred accommodations *NOW*. CATaC'12 will be simply one among many (and in some cases, much larger) conferences taking place in Aarhus in June and accommodation possibilities are already becoming quite tight. We are fortunate to have a block of rooms for CATaC participants reserved in the Hotel Mercur at Viby Torv (<http://www.hotel-mercur.dk/uk/>). The hotel, however, is a convenient but 25-minute bus ride from the conference venue. * Several other possibilities, closer in town, are listed and linked to from the accommodation page.* Bookings made now, of course, can be cancelled later - usually up until a day or two before arrival - without penalty. Even if you are not certain of attending - e.g., you need to await final decision on a proposal, etc. - it would be better to book now and decide to cancel later (should it come to that) than encounter every-growing difficulty in acquiring a room reservation. Conference Fees    Discounted Conference Fee - $515 Regular Conference Fee - $565 (after 20 April 2012) Deductions      Presenting author - deduct $20   (One author only per presented paper - presenter discount does not apply to Student Fee) Reviewer - deduct $20       (Reviewer discount does not apply to Student Fee) Student Fee (full-time students, ID required, no further discount on student fee if author/reviewer)     Discounted Student Fee - $400  Regular Student Fee - $450 (after 20 April 2012) We look forward to welcoming you to Aarhus this coming June.
