Team workshop on mining network data
March 19-20, Carleton University
- This event is by invitation only, and registration is now closed. This webpage is intended to provide information for participants.
- Location: Herzberg Building, Carleton University (the "HP" building near the river on this map). We will meet in rooms 4351 and 5131.
Schedule (tentative)
In sessions with 2 talks, 15 minutes of the time allocated to each talk is intended for discussion. So a talk going from 1:30 - 2:30 will really be a 45 minute talk with 15 minutes discussion. Friday afternoon has fewer talks more time for group discussion.Thursday 19 March

A bit of local accommodation information:
Participants are responsible for making their own accommodation arrangements. A few opinions from locals are below. The main gist is that staying downtown and taking public transportation is a reasonable way to get to Carleton.OC Transpo, the Ottawa Transit authority, provides the following Carleton transit information
Opinion 1:
Yes, bus 7 goes from downtown to Carleton, so does no. 4. Both go via the "rideau center", a major downtown shopping mall, near the market. The youth hostel ("jail hostel") is right next to it. There are several hotels near rideau center, (Novotel, les Suites, Days Inn, etc) but could be pricy. Workshop visitors often stay at "Les Suites" for longer stay (there is a kitchen), or Novotel. There are also some hotels on Cooper street ("Cartier" I think, and a Holiday Inn) where some of our guest stayed in the past (without any major complaint I can remember), but that would require some walking to catch the bus on Bank st.
Opinion 2:
The distance from the Cooper St hotels to Bank St. is about 3 blocks (where as Francois mentions the 4 and 7 routes pass). There is also a Marriott (Residence Inn I believe) on Laurier which is about 2 blocks from Bank St. There are also hotels on the West end of downtown (Minto, Delta, Marriott, Crown Plaza?,..) though I do not tend to recommend them because that part of downtown gets rather quiet after office hours and does not have as many restaurants.
