Conference Location

Computing Frontiers 2014 takes place in the city of Cagliari on the island of Sardinia, Italy. Conference rooms are located in a place called the "Ghetto".

The “Ghetto” is at the border of the Castello quarter of Cagliari and is faced to another very old quarter of the city Stampace, dominating it from the Castello hill offering an amazing view of the city. This building, originally conceived for military scopes, has been erected in 1738. Currently it hosts cultural events, such as meetings and temporary expositions. Its position, in the pure original heart of the city, is unique and CF participants will have the chance of crossing the historical medieval quarters (Castello, Stampace, Villanova and Marina) and will then appreciate the real character of Cagliari.

More details

  • Address: Cagliari, Via Santa Croce 18

Poster Session and Banquet Location

The conference banquet will be held together with a poster session on the 2nd day of the conference (Wednesday, 21th of May) in the beautiful Convento San Giuseppe (Via Paracelso, continuation of Via Parigi, Cagliari, +39 070.503343). This is a building of great historical and artistic interest. It is skilled in hosting social events and dinners, providing different indoor and outdoor solutions to create a perfect atmosphere for events.

       

The poster session will be hosted in its marvelous porch, before the Banquet, and will start approximately at 18:30. There will be a bus from the city center at 18:00, in front of the Camera di Commercio (Largo Carlo Felice 72, 09124 Cagliari, which is near to Piazza Yenne, see map).

If you want to directly get to the banquet location yourself:

  • it is a 50 minutes walk from Piazza Yenne near the conference venue, see this map.
  • from the city centre buses number 30 and 31 can be taken in the Piazza Matteotti (where the Bus and the Train station are located) to bus stop "Viale Marconi/via Vienna" (map here). Rides are nearly every 10 minutes and the single ride ticket is 1.20 Euro (tickets can be found in bars and newsagents, but cannot be purchased on the bus). From the "Viale Marconi/via Vienna" you can easily reach the Convento by walk in 10 minutes (map here).

Where To Stay Nearby

Castello, Stampace, Marina or Villanova are the most historical, attractive and touristic part of the city. These quarters represent the beating heart of the Cagliari city life. They are plenty of cafe, pubs and small characteristic bistros. The most famous “shopping” streets (Via Manno, Via Roma, Via Garibaldi and Via Alghero) are at a walking distance. Bus and train stations are in 10 min walking distance.

Accommodations

Most of the accommodations, such as B&Bs (of different standard) are located in historical streets and buildings.
