York is on the main East Coast Line from London King's Cross to Edinburgh. Trains leave from both north and south at frequent intervals. There is also a direct service across the Pennines between York, Leeds and Manchester Airport. The University is two miles from the railway station and you will need to get a bus or taxi onto campus, or you can walk, which takes over half an hour.
In the (un)likely event that trains are not coming into York during the convention, if you are coming from the North, it is likely you will get a train to Newcastle and BR will arrange a bus. If you are coming from the South, it is likely you will get a train to Doncaster and again, BR will have a bus to York.
An online rail timetable is available here: Rail Planner.
A journey by taxi from the railway station to the University will take approximately 10 minutes (15-20 in rush hour) and cost 3 or 4 pounds. There is a taxi rank just outside the station.
You can reach York by coach from many destinations around the country. National Express have an online coach timetable here: National Express Timetable
The buses from York to the University are the Nos. 4 and 5 from the railway station. The scheduled journey time from the railway station to Heslington is 20 minutes.
Visitors approaching York from the A64 should turn off at the exit clearly marked University, in order to avoid the City centre. Subsequent turns are also well signposted.
Visitors coming from other directions should either:
Delegates should park in South Campus Park (besides the Exhibition Centre, aka Department of Physics). They must display the hangers with which they will be provided in the registration desk.

A summary of the convention (talks at a glance) is available here: AISB'01 Talks at a Glance
Please also refer to the individual symposia web pages for details of the scheduling of talks in the symposia.
AISB'01 Abstracts for Technical Papers
Abstracts for the automated reasoning workshop are available at their
web page:
Eighth Automated
Reasoning Workshop
Please look over the list of delegates
The delegate list is here:
AISB'01 Delegates
If you are intending only to attend the automated reasoning workshop,
or will be mainly at the convention for this workshop, please register
through the workshop web
page, as different rates apply. If you intend to mainly attend
the other symposia, with possible occasional attendance at the automated
reasoning workshop, please read on.
Registration prices are much cheaper if you are a member of SSAISB, so
please consider joining SSAISB as
there are many other benefits. UK membership of SSAISB currently costs
only £25 per year, £15 for UK students (so that students
registering for the convention will actually save £5 if they
become a member of SSAISB). You can join SSAISB as part of the
convention package, through the convention registration page (see
below).
The registration prices for the AISB'01 convention are as follows:
Early registration has now ended. Registration includes
attendance at any talk in any symposium, proceedings for up to three
of the symposia, attendance at the invited talks and attendance at a
reception on the evening of 21st March (but not the buffet
afterwards). This price does not include accommodation or food (except
teas and coffees).
Accommodation in James college and lunches on campus are available at the
convention, details of which are in the registration form. There is
also a buffet on the night of 21st March and a banquet on the night of
23rd March, again with details on the registration form. We recommend
the campus accommodation because it is very close to the convention
centre and very pleasant. We also hope you attend the meals as these
will be very enjoyable events. Accommodation and attendance at the
banquet are fairly limited, so please register early to avoid
disappointment.
We are only taking bookings for the banquet and buffet until 8th March.
The AISB'01 registration form is here:
