- Brief introduction of the meeting
The construction of the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA)
gets started this year.  ALMA project is rapidly developing including the 
partners concerned, and  should have a deep influence on astronomy after 2010.
The aim of the satellite meeting is primarily to share the current status 
and future
prospects of ALMA among countries in the Asian Pacific Region.
In this satellite meeting, we will survey the prospects for radio astronomy
with ALMA and other radio telescopes under construction, which will be
used to elucidate our universe and to address
outstanding issues in astronomy. We plan to hold
panel discussion among astronomers in the AsianPacific Region and
view prospective sciences.
