Banquets: The Conference Banquet (August 19) took place around the swimming pool. In addition to the 45 different greek courses, the participants had the opportunity of enjoying three live bands with medieval cretan music ("lagouto" and "mandolino"), modern cretan music ("lyra", "lagouto", "guitar") and greek-popular music ("bouzouki", "baglama", "guitar"). The Director of the Orchesters for the medieval cretan music and modern cretan music was the famous "lyraris" (=lyra player) Mr. Thrapsaniotis which is also Professor in the Superior School of Music at Agios Nikolaos. Many people also attended a second banquet in August 21 with slightly different music.

Celebration of the 10 years of the WSEAS: The banquet of August 19 included also a great variety of impressive fireworks designed especially for the celebration of the 10 years of the WSEAS.


Prof. Mastorakis (WSEAS Research Department & HNA) addressed a speech during the banquet underlining the importance and the impact of the WSEAS referred to the role of WSEAS as an international research center, as a center for knowledge transfer and as a society of increasing prestige.
The recognition of WSEAS Books, Journals, Proceedings from ALL the citation indeces is a doubtless fact. The participation of well-known academic personalities all over the world is great.

Many Professors thanked the members of the Organizing Committee for their efforts and sent several congratulating emails
after the conference. Some of them are published at: http://www.worldses.org/feedback2006.txt

Also, in his speech, Professor Mastorakis, thanked the Reviewers that improved the quality of the papers with their remarks, invited also the WSEAS participants to contribute with chapters to the new books:
--FINITE DIFFERENCES (1st book)
--FINITE ELEMENTS (2nd book)
--BOUNDARY ELEMENTS(3rd book)

(See: http://worldses.org/books/call )

and encouraged the WSEAS participants to continue their research efforts.

"Research, Research, Research. WSEAS is not only an organization that publishes journals, books and organizes conferences. WSEAS is a big family of researchers. WSEAS Headquarters is also a Research Center. Join us. Join in our Research Projects. Make Research with our teams. This is the future of our society. Research - Collaboration - Common Research Activities" (part of the speech of Professor Mastorakis, Agios Nikolaos, Crete, Greece, August 22, 2006)

The WSEAS participants promised each other that their NEXT APPOINTMENT will be in Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain in December of 2006:
You can visit : www.wseas.org find the web-site of one of the upcoming WSEAS conferences Tenerife, Canary Islands, Spain and upload your paper.


All of us members of the WSEAS staff were very pleased to see that all our hard work was compensated by the success of the conferences. We would like to thank each and every one of you who honoured us with your presence, and we hope to see you again in one of our upcoming events.
