Agenda for the 8th Meeting of the ITPA Transport Physics Topical Group
18-21 April, 2005
Kyoto University
Kyoto, Japan
Version 4.0, April 17, 2005
General Scheduling Information (A. Fukuyama) and Guidelines for Session Chairs (V.
Mukhovatov)
1. One large conference room (for combined session) and four smaller meeting rooms(one for TP, one for PE and two for CDBM) are available.
2. Since the rooms are closed until 9:00 am, the session should start at 9:30 am on thefirst day (4/18) and at 9:15 on the following days.
3. The lunch time, 12:30-14:00 or 13:00-14:00, is recommended because the university
cafeteria is very crowded until 13:00 especially in April, the beginning of a newacademic year.
4. The meeting rooms are available until 19:00 on the first three days.
5. Each room has a PC projector and a screen. The number of over-head projector is very
limited. Please recommend electronic presentation to the participants.
6. The information on internet access was added on the web page.
http://bpsi.nucleng.kyoto-u.ac.jp/itpa2005/
7. Guidelines for collection of electronic talk copies and generation of session summaries
by Session Chairs.
(1) Session Chairs are nominated before the Meeting and indicated on agendas.
(2) Each speaker is requested to present to the Session Chairman, before
or during the Meeting, a Concise Summary of his/her talk (~1/3 page,
preferably in .doc format), in addition to an electronic copy ofhis/her presentation. Electronic copies of talks will also be collected at the meetingby U. Kyoto staff for distribution via web site.
(3) Each Session Chair should prepare a summary of his/her Session basedon the contents of presentations, summaries of individual talks, anddiscussions during the Session, and sends it (electronically) to Chair
and Cochair of the Group during the Meeting or within 1-2 days after theMeeting.
(4) The Chair and Cochair of the Group will prepare the Executive Summary ofthe Meeting by May 2 and the Minutes of the Meeting shortly thereafter.
