presentation, however, please bring with you material for OH Projector just
in case there occur troubles with connection between your computer and our
digital projector and those related to inconsistency in operating systems.
Please also note that electric appliances in Japan are used at the voltage of
100 V.
The room for poster session will be open from the afternoon of Monday 13
May to the noon of Thursday 16 May. A poster board has a width of 180cm and
a height of 90cm. The board is held by poles such that the upper horizontal
edge of the board is located 210cm above the floor. One board will be
assigned to each poster paper. Tape to attach the posters
to the boards will be provided by the LOC.
PROCEEDINGS:
The proceedings will be published from the KLUWER as an ASSL
volume. The page limit is basically 8 pages for the invited talk,
4 pages for the oral presentation, and 2 pages for the poster. The
deadline of the manuscript is July 15. We will soon put the author
guidelines on the home page http://www.astr.tohoku.ac.jp/ws2002/
