Local Arrangements
Accommodation
The workshop will be held at the IMDEA Software Institute (see here for directions). Note that IMDEA is not near the Madrid city center and transportation is needed to commute.
The Local Orgranization will reserve a private bus that will depart in the morning from the corner between Plaza Santo Domingo and Calle Jacometrezo (here). The bus will depart in the morning and return in the afternoon after the meeting finishes. This is a very centric area with plenty of accommodation options.
