Several levels of cooperation are present: Ÿ The subject matter is the foundation and implementation of cooperation among systems. Ÿ The CoopIS area is a meeting of disciplines, which provide concepts and techniques. The relevant disciplines are: collaborative work, distributed databases, distributed computing, electronic commerce, human-computer interaction, multi-agent systems, information retrieval, and workflow systems. Ÿ The CoopIS series provides a forum for well-known researchers that are drawn from the stature and the tradition of these conference series and has a leading role in shaping the future of the cooperative information systems area. Opportunities for informal meetings between the conference delegates will be enhanced with a series of social events, including in-conference tour of the surrounding desert and a cruise at the beautiful Eilat bay
CoopIS'2000 is the seventh conference in the series and the fifth conference organized by the International Foundation on Cooperative Information Systems (IFCIS).

Make your travel arrangements (suggestions and tips) There are several alternative ways to get to Eilat. We pointed some of them below as a starting point, and recommend that you will contact your favorite travel agent to identify special offers at this time of year.
Your trip to Eilat consists of two separate lags, one from your origin to Tel Aviv (Bengurion airport) and the other from Tel Aviv to Eilat. The flight to Eilat (and back to Tel-Aviv) is an easy 45 minutes flight, operated frequently by the local carriers Israir and Arkia (approx $50-$75 each way).
There are direct flights to/from Tel Aviv from many major airports around the world, operated by EL-AL as well as many other airline companies worldwide. From the US, both TWA (JFK at the East coast) and Continental (Newark) operate direct flights to Israel.
For those of you who plan a combo CoopIS/VLDB, you should add a third lag to your trip, from Tel Aviv to Cairo and return. The flight is 70 minutes long and is operated several times a day by EL-AL and Air Sinai. The VLDB organizers have made a deal with EL-AL Air ticket one-way from Tel Aviv to Cairo 143 US$ ticket per person. EL-AL leaves Tel-Aviv on Sunday 10 Sep at 19:45 and arrives to Cairo at 21:15.
The VLDB organizers can also arrange a bus transfer from Taba or Rafah (south from Eilat) to Cairo, including an option of a tour in Sinai. For more details, please contact the VLDB2000 organizers.
For those of you who come from Europe and plan on staying for CoopIS only, you should check the option of using a charter flight directly to Eilat (Ovda airport or Eilat airport).

Air International airlines operate scheduled flights to Tel-Aviv (Bengurion International Airport) Tel. +972-3-9710000 .
