The 1999 Web Caching Workshop is now less than one month away. The
program committee has finished selecting papers for the conference
program. We have an excellent selection of 18 technical papers
covering a wide variety of topics related to Web caching and
performance. The preliminary program is now available on the workshop
home page (workshop.ircache.net).

In addition to the paper presentations, we also have time slots
reserved for birds-of-a-feather (BOF) sessions. We currently have open
BOF slots. If you would like to organize a BOF, or want to suggest a
topic for someone else to organize, please send us a note.

Attendance

    Attendance will be limited to approximately 250 attendees. We
    still have plenty of room for new attendees. If you would like
    to attend, please send us a brief note with your interests
    and/or background to wcw99@ircache.net.

Accommodation

    We have arranged for blocks of rooms in two local hotels.
    Currently, these rooms are under-utilized, and we are in danger of
    losing the rooms if reservations are not made soon. If you are
    attending, we urge you to contact one of the conference hotels as
    soon as possible. The deadline is Friday, March 5th. More
    information can be found at the URL given above.

Exhibition and Demonstration Facilities

    An exhibition area will be available for demonstrations and
    for companies sponsoring the workshop. We currently have six
    companies signed up for the exhibition area, with plenty of
    additional space available. If you would like to reserve a
    table in the exhibition area, please contact us.
