Social events

• Mjellerumsgården: The lunch on Monday will be held in Mjellerumsgården which is an old farmhouse from 1772 now rebuilt to host a nice restaurant. The restaurant is part of the Gamla Linköping Open Air Museum.
• Reception: On Monday evening there will be a reception at Vricon, which is a truly amazing high-tech company in Linköping that provides satellite based 3D geodata (clearly relevant for critical infrastructure protection). Vricon is located near downtown Linköping, so we will go there by pre-arranged bus and then jointly walk back to the hotels along the Stångå river.
• Conference banquet: The conference dinner on Tuesday evening will be held at The Swedish Air Force Museum. We will be given a tour of the museum which has many interesting exhibitions including the intriguing DC-3 wreck from the cold war. This museum hosts a few exhibits that are unique remaining exemplars from the aircraft series produced.
