Program


The program agenda is expected to be as follows:

Monday Sept. 9:
13:00 - 16:50 Presentations

Tuesday Sept. 10:
09:00 - 11:55 Presentations
13:15 - 15:35 Presentations
15:50 - 16:50 Panel discussion
19:00 - Banquet

Wednesday Sept. 11:
09:00 - 10:15 Presentations
10:30 - 11:30 Panel discussion
11:30 - Closing

All presentations will be oral. The time allocated for each presentation
is 25 minutes, including the time for questions and discussions.
Besides the individual presentations, the workshop will include two
one-hour panel discussion sessions.


Both an overhead projector and a LC projector are available.
We are going to arrange some PCs at the workshop site,
but we recommend those who plan to give presentations by Powerpoint
should bring their own PCs as well as alternative transparencies
to be prepared for unforeseeable circumstances.


The registration fee is 10 thousands Yen. Please pay it by cash. We cannot treate credit cards.
