At that time we recommend you to check your file at our PC system commonly used for oral presentations at SPIN2006. Those who give a talk on the 1st day should do so well before your session starts. (We will also prepare overhead projectors. )

Poster session will be held on Thursday (10/5 16:00~17:30) at the Symposium site. Each poster presentation can use the area of 120 cm (height) x 90 cm(width) which can accommodate A0 size poster. One can prepare a poster in the Thursday afternoon.
