-Chairperson : Hiroshi TANAKA, Tokyo Medical and Dental University -Steered by : Preparatory Committee for Digital Biocolor Society -Sponsored by: The Medical Information System Development Center The Ministry of International Trade and Industry -Term : April 1-2, 2000 -Venue : The Lecture Hall of the Building No.5, Tokyo Medical and Dental University (Two minutes walk from JR Chuo-Line Ochanomizu Station, or nearby Subway Marunouchi Line Ochanomizu Station.

A common recognition, which was developed at the 1st symposium held on May in last year, that the color problem may affect a wide area of medical science and its practice, and it requires interdisciplinary collaboration of medicine and engineering science to be resolved, has promoted arrangements for the next symposium and establishment of brand-new Digital Biocolor Society at the same time. You can get an electronic version of its proceedings distributed free at the home page of the symposium indicated at the contact address shown below. Besides, active participants will have an electronic version of a scientific journal including enriched papers which is planned to be published after the symposium. As well as the 1st symposium, a lot of active attendees are welcome and fruitful discussions are expected at this 2nd symposium. |

The type of the LCD projector prepared by the secretariat is UP1100 (PLUS Corporation) and it will be compatible with most types of computers. But you should consult the manufacturer or its home page (http://www.plus.co.jp/intl/dmt/prdp.htm) about its compatibility with your computer. (2) As no simultaneous translation will be provided, speakers using Japanese language should make slides and other materials to be easily understood by audiences from other countries than Japan. Speakers should meet at the reception desk by 30 minutes before the scheduled time for each session which will be found in the program. (3) An electronic version of a scientific journal including the same papers as the proceedings or revised versions of them, summaries of oral discussions, slide films and every other materials will be published and sent to all participants through the internet for participants who could not actually attend the meeting to get almost the same information as attendees. Every author will be expected to arrange these materials as soon as the symposium has finished, and to send them in some electronic form to the secretariat by the deadline of Fri, April 14, 2000. Papers in Japanese must be accompanied with a summary and legends written in English for participants from other countries than Japan. (4) Any authors who find difficulties in following instructions mentioned above can feel free to consult the secretariat, because it will provide all kinds of assistance to resolve them as much as possible. -Contact us at : The Secretariat, Preparatory Committee for Digital Biocolor Society Masahiro NISHIBORI c / o Clinical Laboratory, Tokyo Medical and Dental University Hospital 1-5-45, Yushima, Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, 113-8519, Japan FAX: 81-3-5684-3618 E-mail: mn-mn@umin.ac.jp URL: http://biocolor.umin.ac.jp/ |
