http://aappsdpp.org/DPP2021/index.html[1] Scope of the AAPPS-DPP2021: AAPPS-DPP2021 is an international plasma physics conference
under the auspices of AAPPS-DPP. The conference will be physics oriented and provide
interdisciplinary and in-depth scientific discussions among and in various fields of plasma physics
and applications.
[2] Organization: AAPPS-DPP (http://aappsdpp.org/AAPPSDPPF/) is the organizing body of thisconference. The AAPPS-DPP 2022 annual conference will be a remote on-line e-conference using
Zoom systems similar to AAPPS-DPP 2020 (930 participants) and 2021(1109 participants).

[7] Program overview
Program time is based on Japan time for AAPPSDPP2021 e-conference. However, participants are expected tojoin the conference from various places in the world including Australia, China, ASEAN, India, Bangladesh,Pakistan, Nepal, Russia, EU countries, UK, Brazil, US. The e-conference runs from Sunday (Oct. 9) to Friday (Oct.
14) as shown in Table 1.

AAPPS-DPP General Assembly (Oct. 9(Sun)):AAPPS-DPP general assembly will be held to appoint new Member of Board of Directors, Auditor and approvalof budget balance. Activity reports will also be given at the assembly.
RMPP Chief/Associate/Guest Editor Meeting (Oct. 9(Sun)):
RMPP Editor meeting will be held to review status and discuss future plan.
Opening session (Oct. 10 (Mon)): The Opening session will be of 90 minutes duration and include opening
addresses, and introduction of AAPPS-DPP Prize and Award winners such as S. Chandrasekhar Prize, Plasma
Innovation Prize, U40 and U30 awards.
Plenary Talk: A plenary talk will be of 30 minutes duration including a one-minute introduction by the session
chair and 4 minutes of discussion. It is planned to have a total of 39 plenary talks distributed among three time zones
so that we can accommodate outstanding talks from all over the world. Plenary talks should be pitched for a generalaudience of plasma physicists and not towards specialists of a particular sub-field. Therefore, speakers should
provide some tutorial content in the beginning and minimize using jargon specific to one’s own field of expertise.
The scientific contents of the talk should also be limited to a few outstanding works.
Topical sessions: Topical sessions are distributed among 9 sub-disciplines; Cross Disciplinary (Self-organization )(CD), Fundamental (F), Basic (B), Applied (A), Laser (L), Space/Geomagnetism (SG), Solar/Astro (SA), Magnetic
Fusion 1(core plasma) (MF1), Magnetic Fusion 2 (edge/divertor) (MF2).

Here,
Fundamental: All “Fundamental disciplines" common to various plasma application fields, such as plasma turbulence, MHD/Kinetic MHD and reconnection,
Dynamo Theory, Gyrokinetic theory, Collisional transport, et al and Mathematical plasma physics. The Fundamental session welcomes papers on simulationand experiment which address fundamental questions in plasma physics
Basic: All common “methods" in plasma physics such as plasma diagnostics, plasma simulation, plasma sources. In this era of exascale computing, applicationof AI and Machine Learning as well as BigData methods to plasmas are strongly encouraged. This year, we have Quantum plasma (QP) and Dusty plasma (DP)sessions, Simulation and Diagnostics sessions, Basic experiments (BX) and Plasma Source (PS) session.

Topical Plenary Talk: Each subdiscipline may have a topical plenary talk of 40 minutes duration including a oneminute introduction by the session chair and 5 minutes of discussion. Topical plenary talks may be either in a single
discipline (CD, F, B, A, L) or in joint sessions (SA+SG, MF1+MF2). The speaker can assume that the audience isaware of the key words in the common fields.
Invited talk: An invited talk is of 30 minutes duration including a one-minute introduction by the session chair and
4 minutes of discussion. The speakers are advised not to use crowded viewgraphs with so much information that
there is no time to effectively describe it all.
Oral talk: An oral talk will be of 15 minutes duration including 3 minutes for an introduction by the session chairand some discussions.
Poster presentation: A Poster Web site will be available. Poster presenter will upload a pre-recorded brief overview
video of the poster within 3 minutes duration (<100Mb) in addition to One-page poster. Participants can access a
poster and recorded 3 minutes summary video by clicking on the poster ID. The audience can also input questions
and comments on a poster. An email will then be automatically generated and sent to the presenter. The presenteris expected to post a reply by the end of the day.
Plenary and invited speakers can be nominated by any plasma physicists and is not limited to AAPPS-DPP
members. Based on competitive nominations, plenary and invited speakers will be selected from nominations ofplenary and invited speakers. Oral and poster presentations will be selected from contributed abstract submissions
by each sub-disciplinary Program Committee.

[8] Nomination of Plenary and Invited Speakers
The site for nomination of plenary and invited speakers is https://www.gakkai-web.net/aappsdpp_nm/
Both nomination by other or self-nomination are acceptable. Use template at the site.
Conference has one-oral rule. So multiple nominations are snot accepted, while an additional poster
presentation is encouraged. Do not forget/delete ID and PW so that you can modify nomination.
This site includes nominations for both AAPPS-DPP2022(Oct 9-14) and APPC-15 (Aug. 21-26).
Selection will be done by each PC.

Web site for contributed, plenary and invited abstract: to be announced later.

[9] On-line conference
Zoom Meeting will be used for all sessions. Manuals will be prepared for Presenter, Chairs, Chair-support,
Audience similar to AAPPS-DPP2020, 2021.
Network: Connect to stable network. If not, application may be terminated. If you had network problem lastyear, please prepare way to improve your network.
Before conference: Please download Zoom application. If you use Web browser for Zoom, use Google Chrome.
Conference Web access: Conference site is accessible through “My Page” created for registered participants.
During presentation: Session chair will make all “mute” except host and speakers. After the talk, session chair
will unmute to start discussion.
Chat: Audience can input chat during presentation.
Microphone: Use earphone to minimize howling when you turn on the microphone for talk and question.
Session close: After the end of Q&A, session will be closed by host. All participants will be out automatically.
Termination: Meeting room may be terminated and changed if we have Zoom Bombing or big noise.
Copyright and Cloud recording: All presentation will be automatically recorded and its copyright belongs toorganizer and authors. It is not allowed for participants to record and use for other purpose unless it is allowed byorganizer and author. Last year, there are number of issues related to editing/deleting unwilling records and took
long time to upload to conference Web site. If the author do not want recording, it must be informed to Zoom teamand there might be a consideration for program allocation to reduce editing works of recorded file.
