(Final version of the programme). Presentations will be made in English or Japanese, as indicated by the capitals E or J respectively.
Organisation: Universita' Ca' Foscari di Venezia
Location: Auditorium Santa Margherita (Universita' Ca' Foscari di Venezia), on the Campo Santa Margherita (capacity of up to 200 persons). The auditorium features the following equipment: -Several laptops, including laptops with Japanese configuration and Japanese font -White screen and beamer -Microphones -Overhead projector (OHP) Contrary to what we announced earlier, due to a recent regulation enforced by the university authorities, no coffee breaks will be allowed inside the building. We have therefore made an arrangement for five coffee breaks in a café, called Caffe Orange, on Campo Santa Margherita the square where the auditorium is located.
Abstracts of the presentations can be found here.

Note Lunch during the conference will not be pre-arranged. Everyone is invited to select the restaurant of his liking to have lunch from a list of recommended restaurants looking out onto the Square Santa Margherita. Sessions will end at about 12.30 h. in order to give everyone the opportunity to be at a restaurant before 13.00 h, which is rush time for lunch in Italy.
We have visited the hotels we have listed on the website: Falier, Al Sole, Sofitel, Carlton and Domus Ciliota, all of them attractive and fine. We hope that all prospective participants have found and booked suitable accommodation. Do not forget that September is a conference month and that Venice is a very popular destination. Be sure to book transport and accommodation in time. Looking forward to meeting you in Venice.
