==========================================================================
GENERAL INFORMATION
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
IFIP TCS2000 is the first International Conference on Theoretical Computer
Science organized by IFIP TC1 on Foundations of Computer Science, and it
consists of two tracks: TRACK (1) on Algorithms, Complexity and Models of
Computation, and TRACK (2) on Logic, Semantics, Specification, and
Verification. The conference proceedings will be published as a volume
of Lecture Notes in Computer Science, Springer-Verlag.
IFIP TCS2000 will be held on the campus of Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan.
The invited talks and contributed talks will be presented at the Aoba
Memorial Building and Engineering Conference Hall, Faculty of Engineering
located on the Aoba Hill about 3 km west of downtown Sendai. The conference
welcome reception and banquet will be held at Sendai Tokyu Hotel, located
at downtown Sendai.
Please, register and make reservations by returning the completed form
by email and fax, following the instructions below.
There will also be on-site registration at:
* Sendai Tokyu Hotel, 15:00 - 20:00, August 16
* Aoba Memorial Bldg., Tohoku Univ., 9:00 - 17:00 on August 17 - 19.
Transportation
Conference participants arriving at the new Tokyo International (Narita)
Airport are advised to take the JR Narita Express train from Narita Airport
to Tokyo Station.
Then, take the Yamabiko super express train of Tohoku Shinkansen (Tohoku
Bullet Train) to Sendai from Tokyo Station. The Yamabiko runs every 20 - 30
min. and takes about 2 hours from Tokyo to Sendai. Making reservation at
Narita Station for the Yamabiko is recommended, since it will be the summer
tourist season.
Those arriving at the new Osaka International Airport (Kansai Airport) can
fly to Sendai Airport, and take Limousine Bus service to Sendai Station.
The bus takes about 30 min. to go from the Airport to Sendai Station. You
can also take a shuttle bus service from Kansai Airport to the Osaka-Itami
Airport to fly from there to Sendai Airport. Alternatively, you can take a
local train from the Kansai Airport to JR Shin Osaka Station, then take the
Tokaido Shinkansen from Osaka to Tokyo Station and change at Tokyo Station
to Tohoku Shinkansen.
Some details on transportation will be available on the TCS2000 Web page, at
http://tcs2000.ito.ecei.tohoku.ac.jp/tcs2000/
Note:
(1) In Japan, mid-August is the busiest tourist time during summer,
including domestic and international flights.
(2) No flight service is available from Narita to Sendai Airport, since the
train service is convenient. There is another train service from Narita
Airport to downtown Tokyo (Ueno) by Skyliner of the Keisei-Narita Line.
At Ueno you can take the Yamabiko super express of Tohoku Shinkansen to
Sendai, but you have to walk about 10 min. from Keisei-Ueno Station to
JR Ueno Station to take Tohoku Shinkansen.
(3) If you are going to travel in Japan by JR lines before/after the IFIP
TCS2000 conference, it will be convenient and economical to get a JR
PASS before your departure. Contact your travel agent for more
information on JR PASS (Japan Rail Pass).
Hotels
Two hotels are arranged to offer special discount rates to IFIP TCS2000
participants: Sendai Tokyu Hotel and Sendai Washington Hotel. They are
1.2 km west of Sendai Station and about 800 Yen by taxi from the station.
These hotels are located within 5 min. walk from each other. The conference
welcome reception and banquet will be held at Sendai Tokyu Hotel.
Sendai and Climate
Sendai is the largest city in the northern part of the Honshu Island of
Japan, with a population of about a million. The City is known in Japan
as "City of Trees". Sendai is a modern, safe city with a temperate climate
blessed by four distinct seasons; even in mid August it is quite seldom
that the highest temperature exceeds 30 C (86 F).
Usually, the weather in mid August would be mostly sunny with temperatures
ranging from 20 C (68 F) to 30 C (86 F), and rain, if any, would rarely be
heavy.
Note: Average temperatures in August at Sendai, Tokyo and Osaka are about
23.5 C, 26.5 C and 27.5, respectively.
