Map for the conference

You can access a map of Jyväskylä with markings of important places during the conference. Map can be found here:  http://g.co/maps/ntkbf 
Map reveals that Jyväskylä is hardly a big city: everything you need to reach after you arrive to train / bus station can be accessed by foot. Even the farthest hotel is less than 1,5km from the conference venue. Street called "Kauppakatu" meaning basically "shopping street"is where most of the shops and restaurants are. It is pedestrian street in the center, but it also takes you to campus. Another option to access campus is to use "yliopistonkatu" which translates into "University street".

Papers that were submitted after the deadline can be found from at the end of the list and are thus not in the alphabetical order.
