Workshop Venue
CPSNA 2011 will take place in conjunction with RTCSA 2011 in Toyama, Japan.
Toyama is the leading industrial prefecture on the Japan Sea coast, and has the industrial advantage of cheap electricity due to abundant water resources.
It is surrounded by beautiful nature including Mount Tate and Japan Sea.
Hope you will enjoy Toyama during CPSNA 2011 and RTCSA 2011!
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
The workshop venue has been relocated at KNB*E.
This is because there would be a more number of attendees than we had anticipated - our estimation was around 30 attendees, while it could reach 70 now!
We appreciate such an unanticipated large number of potential attendees; however we also apologize that we had to change the workshop venue.
Please also notice that CPSNA 2011 and RTCSA 2011 are hosted at different venues.
DIRECTION:
The new workshop venue, KNB*E (KNB Irifune Bekkan in Japanese), is located close to Toyama Station.
Please find the map below, showing the direction to the workshop venue ("A") from Toyama Station ("B").

Please follow the sign and guides at the airport to get this shuttle bus. There will be several local assistants who have "CPSNA" sign board.

The Starbucks Coffee at Toyama Kansui Park, located next to the workshop venue, has been reviewed as one of the most beautiful starbucks branches in the world.
