AGACSE 2012 is the fifth conference on Applied Geometric Algebras in Computer Science and Engineering, which will be held during July 2-4, 2012 at the University of La Rochelle, France. La Rochelle is a small and beautiful town of west Atlantic coast that enjoys an exceptional quality of life. The airport connects La Rochelle to main British cities and some european capitals (Paris, Brussels, Oslo). Paris is about three hours from La Rochelle by the TGV train.
