Electricity
The voltage throughout Japan is 100 Volt which is different from North America (110V), Central Europe (220V) and most other world regions. (The frequency of electric current is 50 Hz in Eastern Japan including Tokyo.) The plug type is type A, flat blade attachment plug, so a voltage transformer and a plug adapter will be required (some plugs used in USA are not compatible in Japan).

Proceedings
The proceedings of the workshop will be published from World Scientific. All of the oral presentations and posters will be included. The deadline of the manuscript is 30th December, 2005.
