Location Information
====================
PACT '07 will take place in Romania, the newest member of the  
European Union.
Romania is a mixture of 21st century technology, ancient culture,
and unspoiled nature.  It is easily reached by numerous daily non-stop
flights from all European capitals. Brasov, our host city, is the  
largest of
the seven Saxon cities of the Transylvania province.  Nearby attractions
include Dracula's Castle, the royal summer palace, the capital city of
Bucharest, and Sibiu, the 2007 European Capital of Culture.


PACT '07 is Dedicated to the Memory of Irina Athanasiu
======================================================
Irina was a computer science professor at the Politehnica University,
Bucharest. She taught, mentored and advised generations of Romanian
computer scientists who have achieved prominent positions in academia
and industry throughout the world.  She dedicated her life to her  
students
and our profession.
