A few hotel recommendations:

We recommend that you make your hotel reservation ahead of time because another conference will be taking place during the same week, and September is still tourism season. Some hotels have special early-bird offers.
How to get to campus from the city:
The university campus is roughly 3.5 km away from the city center, and it is well connected with the city via bus.
From bus stops Barbarossaplatz, Mainfrankentheater or Berliner Ring (north-east of the city center) take bus 14 (towards Gerbrunn) and get off at stop Mathematisches Institut, or take bus 114 (towards Universität Sportzentrum) or 214 (towards Würzburg THWS) and get off at stop Universitätsbibliothek.
From bus stop Sanderglacisstraße (south-east of the city center) take bus 10 (towards Hubland TGZ) and get off at stop Universitätsbibliothek.
The conference will take place at the Institute for Computer Science.
