The Second International Conference on the Physics of Dusty Plasmas (ICPDP-99) is the follow up of the First ICPDP held in October 1996 at Goa, India. The present conference is aimed to provide a forum for a large number of scientists from different parts of the world in order to present their most recent results, exchange information and discuss dusty (fine particle) plasmas, which have emerged as a new discipline in science with vast applications in space science and astrophysics as well as in plasma processing and microelectronics. The low temperature strongly coupled dusty plasmas have been found in the form of crystals and they are believed to play a very important role in environmental research.
The official conference language is English.
The registration and conference fee of 35,000 Yen (25,000 Yen for students) will cover an informal get-together, banquet, the summary of abstracts and the conference proceedings.
The lecturers for the Review and Topical Talks will be invited by the Program Committee on the recomendation of the International Advisory Board members. Contributed papers for oral and poster presentations will be selected by the Program Committee on the basis of the submitted abstracts.
The title should be written in 14 pt. bold capitals centred at top of the page followed by authors names and affiliation (12 pt.). The name of the presenting author should be underlined. Please leave one line between title and authors and two lines between affiliation and text.
The abstract should be of one page in A4 size paper typed or printed 1.5 spaced, 12 pt. Times font with full 25mm margin on all four sides. Any figure or table included should be of size that is easily readable. Indicate the category of topic on the top by pencil.
Book of abstracts will be prepared from the original abstracts submitted by the authors and will be distributed at the conference registration desk.
Abstract should not be submitted through e-mail or fax. The abstract should be mailed no later than October 15, 1998 to:
The Proceedings will be published after the Conference. The manuscripts for the Review Talks and Contributed Papers accepted for presentation at the Conference must be handed over to the Scientific Secretary at the Conference. The detailed instructions for preparation of the manuscripts will be sent to the main author of each accepted paper prior to the meeting.
The Conference will be held at the Hotel Kowaki-en, Hakone. The town Hakone is located 80km south-west of Tokyo and is 10km from Odawaracity facing Sagami Bay. It is within the Fuji-Hakone-Izu National Park where many spas (hot springs) exist. In the Hakone area, with a wonderful view of Mt.Fuji, there are many sightseeing places, e.g., Ashino Lake, an active volcano, a mountain train and an open-air museum. In May, the day temperature (high) in the area is 20 degree C and may fall down (low)to 10 degree C at night.
All participants will be accommodated in the Hotel Kowaki-en, Hakone where the Conference will be held. The room charges including food (breakfast, lunch and dinner) are:
A limited number of participants from developing countries and Russian federation may be provided travel support by the Organizing Committee.
The application should be submitted to Prof. Y. Nakamura.
