GENERAL INFORMATION

The Fourth Slovenian International Conference in Graph Theory will take place from June 28 to July 2, 1999 at Lake Bled, a beautiful vacation resort in Julian Alps in the North of Slovenia. It is only half an hour drive from the Ljubljana international airport as well as from borders with Austria and Italy. The conference site is Hotel Golf.


INVITED SPEAKERS

The list of invited speakers includes:


PISANSKI DAY AND SABIDUSSI DAY

During the conference we will celebrate anniversaries of our distinguished colleagues Tomaz Pisanski and Gert Sabidussi. In particular, they are closely related to the development of Graph Theory in Slovenia. Please let us know if you wish to present your talk during one of these occasions.

SUBMITTING PAPERS FOR PROCEEDINGS

The conference proceedings will be published as a special issue or volume of Discrete Mathematics. The deadline for submissions of papers is July 2, 1999 (the end of the conference). They have to be sent in triplicate to the conference address given above or given to the organizers during the conference. We also accept manuscripts by email or on a disk if written in TeX or LaTeX. The manuscripts should follow the general guidelines for manuscripts submitted to Discrete Mathematics. All papers will be refereed according to the usual standards of the journal.


SPECIAL EVENTS


HOTEL RESERVATION

A block of rooms has been reserved for the participants in a high class Golf Hotel (the conference venue) available at the following conference rates: 120 DEM (single), 80 DEM (double), 140 DEM (half board, single), 100 DEM (half board, double room), where half board includes one of the two main meals (lunch or dinner). A block of appartments is also available in Savica, a unit attached to Hotel Golf. The price for a double room appartment is 65 DEM per person, while an appartment with 4 persons costs 45 DEM per person. (Note: 1 DEM = 1 German Mark = approximately $0.6).

The requested accomodation will be reserved by the organizers for all participants registered by June 5.


LOCAL CURRENCY, CLIMATE, ETC.

The Slovenian currency is called TOLAR. Its abbreviation is SIT (SlovenIan Tolar). The current exchange rate is approximately 100 SIT to one German mark or 180 SIT to a US dollar. The prices are generally comparable to the prices in the European Union.

The weather in June is usually quite pleasant. Average temperatures are between 18C and 25C. However, we suggest you bring along a sweater, just to be on the safe side.

Bled is a very nice vacation resort with a beautiful lake and many interesting places to visit. There are many nice walks, hiking places, historic monuments (a nice castle), tennis courts, golf field, etc.
