Rain, if any, would rarely be heavy. Registration fees cover attendance in all sessions, a copy of the proceedings, refreshments and snack, the conference reception and banquet, but not the Japanese dinner party on September 26. The member rate is available to members of any of the sponsoring or cooperating organizations. The reduced author rate applies to all authors of accepted papers. The student rate applies to full time students.
Registrants paying reduced rates have full privileges at the conference.
The companion rate covers the reception and banquet only. Three convenient Western Style hotels offer TACS'97 discount rates. Rates are per person, per night, and include breakfast, service charge, and tax. No roommate matching service is available, so twin room reservations remain the registrant's responsibility. A Japanese dinner party for participants from abroad will be arranged for September 26.
