[Purpose of the meeting]

    "Numerical Simulations in Astronomy 2002 (NSA2002)" is aimed
at summarizing latest numerical simulations in astrophysics.  
It is held as a satellite meeting of the IAU 8th Asian-Pacific
Regional Meeting (APRM2002).  Those who attend NSA2002 are assumed
to attend also APRM2002.  Those who are interested in NSA2002
are recommended strongly to visit the web page of APRM2002,
URL is http://www.astro.isas.ac.jp/conference/aprm2002/ and register
yourself as soon as possible.  All the information on the conference 
site, travel, visa, and local area will be given there.  The LOC of 
this satellite meeting covers only the talks given in the satellite 
meeting.


[Style of the meeting]

    "Numerical Simulations in Astronomy 2002" is interdisciplinary 
in the sense that it is not intended to focus on any specific 
astronomical object.  It consists of about 10 invited talks and another
10 contributed talks.  Each invited talk summarizes recent advance in 
a specific theme.   It is 30 minutes long and will be followed by 10
minutes discussion.  Each contributed talk features recent interesting 
numerical simulations  and technics which bring us new findings in 
astronomy and astrophysics.  It is 15 minutes long and will be followed
by 5 minutes discussion.   Those who wish to present poster papers 
are recommended to submit them to the main conference.   We do NOT have
a poster session in this satellite meeting.

     Le us remind you that we do NOT have a poster session in this 
meeting.  Those who wish to present poster papers are asked to submit
them to the main conference, even if the subjects are more suitable 
for the satellite meeting.  And please keep in mind that the number 
of oral talks is restricted.
