Accommodations
ESP 7 will be held at the Ramada Hotel ($89/night, single or double)
situated in Alexandria, Virginia, about 15 minutes by Metro from the
Capital and Museum district of Washington, DC.  The hotel provides
free shuttle buses to and from Washington National Airport, and to
and from the nearest Metro stop.   The hotel can provide accommodations
for ESP attendees arriving early or departing late.

Student Participation
Student submissions are encouraged.   We will provide complimentary
registration and housing for students who are first authors of
accepted papers.

Additionally, we are hoping that a student only conference will be
held prior to ESP.  Students will be invited to the opening ESP
cocktail party regardless of whether they are attending ESP.
In addition, early arrivals at ESP will be invited to a late afternoon
session of the student conference on Oct. 24, 1997.  We are also
planning to have a special student poster section for any students
attending the student conference.  More details will be posted on the
ESP Web page  and on the PPIG mailing list at a later date.
