Dear IAMS attendees,
The local organizing committee has prepared a
tentative agenda.
Please check if your paper is listed properly or not. In case we have
missed your submission, please notify Dr. Yuqing Wang (yuqing@hawaii.edu)
as soon as possible, but by no later than 01 January 2004. For those
who need a US visa, an invitation letter signed by Prof. McCreary has
already been sent out.
Duration of all INVITED talks, including
discussion is 20 minutes. For all ORAL presentations the duration,
including discussion is 12 minutes. The recommended size of POSTERS is
45 inch in width and 40 inch in height.
For all participants, accommodation in hotels
in Waikiki Beach or a dormitory within the University campus are being
worked out. Contact the hotels directly for reservations (details are
available in the next page). We can book the available rooms in the
dormitory on a first-come-first-serve basis only; please contact Ms.
Jeanie Ho (jeanie@hawaii.edu)
if you would like to book a dorm room.
You can travel from the Honolulu airport to
Waikiki by shuttle bus (about $8) or by taxi ($about $30). Information
about the shuttle bus is available in the Honolulu airport baggage
claim areas.
Also attached is a registration form for
IAMS-2004. Please fill it in and return to Ms. Jeanie Ho (jeanie@hawaii.edu)
by 15 January 2004. You are required to pay the registration fee of
$100.00 (US dollars) in CASH / Traveler's Check on arrival. No other
mode of payment will be accepted.
All participants are invited to the conference
dinner on Thursday, 19th February. The dinner is a “Sunset Cruise,” a
lovely boat trip on nearby island waters. For accompanying persons,
cost of the dinner is $35.00 each, much less than the usual price (http://www.robertshawaii.com/roberts/home.asp?menu=5%2E1%2E4&mscssid=ABM864V)
