LDIA'98 Secretariat:

Authors information
Oral Presentations
All speakers for a session are required to meet their session chairperson half an hour
before the opening of the session. The chairperson will confirm your presentation,and local requirement for your presentation may be offered. Biographicalinformation form should be submitted to the chairperson at this meeting. You will beable to find the chairperson rather easily, but if you unfortunately cannot, please
make a contact with the secretariat. You can use one Over Head Projector(OHP) for
transparencies or one Slide Projector. Slides should be numbered, and submitted tothe slide reception desk at the symposium site at least half an hour before theopening of the session. Video projections are also available at the symposium site.
There will be no problem for the domestic speakers, however, foreign presenters arerecommended to contact the symposium secretariat sufficiently before thepresentation to avoid the possible problems on the projection. If you wish to use thevisual aids other than described above, please consult the Secretariat. The mostcareful attention should be paid on the time of your presentation, programmed for
only 15 minutes, plus 5 minutes for questions. Please leave pure 5 minutes for thequestions, because your answer would be more informative for the audience. The
time might be changed by the session chairperson, according to the time
management of the whole symposium.

Poster Presentations
Please contact the front desk at the session room before you start to mount yourposter. Thumbtacks will be available at the desk. Attach your materials to the panels
assigned by the symposium secretariat. The program number of your poster
presentation is indicated at the upper-left corner of the panel. Speakers are expected
to be present at their poster display during the session time. The only official
language for poster displays is English. All materials to be mounted on the panel
should have description in English.

General Information
Climate
It is mid-spring and one of the best seasons in Tokyo during the symposium. You
will see many cherry blossoms blooming everywhere. It is mostly fine, butsometimes rains. Temperature varies between 10 and 18 degs. C (50 and 64 degs. F),
so overcoat is no more needed. Slightly low temperature is expected in Yamanashi
area (Technical Visit) between 8 and 17 degs. C.

Currency Exchange
Only Japanese Yen is acceptable at regular stores. You can exchange the currency
in international airports and foreign exchange banks. Many branches of the banks
exists in the downtown area of Tokyo (e.g. Shinbashi), and also you can find somenear the symposium site.

Traveler's Checks and Credit Cards
We can accept only Japanese Yen by cash at the conference desk. Major credit cards
are acceptable at the hotels and shops.
