To: APAN Fukuoka Session Coordinators and Speakers Re: Session & Presentation Instructions PC (Program Committee) has already decided to create on-line proceedings only. On-line submission is available at http://www.qgpop.net/apan2003/cgi-bin/upload.cgi. The on-line submission deadline is January 10, 2003. A speaker may submit his/her slides and/or paper with its title, author(s), and abstract. An invited speaker must submit it to justify his/her invitation. A coordinator (session chair) may collect materials in his/her session in advance to forward them to PC in time. Materials submitted after the on-line submission deadline may not be ready at the time of conference. The file format is one of PDF, Microsoft Word, and Powerpoint. Consult PC for other formats. A hardcopy of the program and abstracts is planned to be distributed at the site. Slides of a speaker who hasn't submitted materials will be collected at the time of presentation by the session chair. Each session chair will have a (student) assistant to run the session. The assistant can handle his/her own laptop to display slides if needed. A VGA (LCD) projector will be prepared in addition to Polycom with a projector (i.e. 2 screens). Consult with PC in advance ASAP if you need any special equipment. All sessions may be broadcasted over Internet (unless the speaker notifies in advance). Masaki Hirabaru PC Chair
