Submission to Proceedings
More details about the proceedings can be found at webpage Proceedings.
Please submit your manuscript for refereeing by email to iaus249@nju.edu.cn. At this moment, we need only ONE read-able file (pdf or ps) containing both the text and all figures. Make sure your file is smaller than 5MB. If you need to contain large files (e.g. large pictures of very-high-resolution) in your paper, please find an accessible place by yourself and cite the URL in your manuscript.
Final Announcement

The program of the conference has come out, please go to the Program page to see it.

Due to the limited conference time, it is impossible to give every contributor an oral talk. We have to discard some interesting topics proposed by our participants. Those participants with names listed on the program please prepare your oral talks. The time for a talk is 20 minutes (invited talk 30 minutes). Other contributors are invited to present your works as posters.

Any speaker who wants to use the computer supplied by the conference please bring your presentation in a flash disk, portable hard disk or CD/DVD. We do NOT use floppy disk, and please make sure your portable device is able to be connected to the USB port. Please copy your stuff to the conference computer during the Coffee Breaks on the day before your talk. For your information, the electrical system in China is 220V 50Hz and the most popular plug & socket is the oblique flat blades (like a 'V') with ground.

For poster contribution, the poster should be the A0 size (841 x 1189 mm) and in a portrait orientation.

We will print a booklet including the abstracts of all contributions, so we need your abstract before Oct. 11. Please submit your abstracts on line immediately. You need to input your (first and last) name, the title of your contribution and the abstract (prepared in LaTeX format) on the webpage. Have a look at the Participants page. If you can see your own name on it but can not see the contribution title of yours, that means, we did not receive your abstract on-line, please submit immediately.

We have left some printable notes in Chinese and English on the Travel & Visa page. If you think they are helpful, print them out and bring them with you.

Every participant is asked to bring the receipt of your bank transferring for the registration fee, in case the treasurer needs it to check the account. And as you may know from this page, we still have some unrecognized remitters.

If possible, please send an email to iaus249@nju.edu.cn to tell your flight number, arrival time and arrival airport.

Thank you for your cooperation!

Wish you a pleasant trip and see you in Suzhou!

Frequently Asked Questions and Answers
Q: What's the process to make a sucessful attendance?
A: You should follow this process: 1. finish the on-line registration; 2. pay the registration fee; 3. get the invitation letter; 4. get the visa; 5. book a hotel room; 6. find a flight ticket

Q: Shall I register and pay the registration fee?
A: Yes. Everyone, including members of SOC and invited speakers, shall provide necessary information by completing the on-line registration and pay the fee. Please note there is discount for early bird registration before August 31.

Q: Can I pay the registration fee from the IAU grants?
A: Yes. If you have obtained the IAU grants, we can charge your registration fee from the grants. But you need to send an email to iaus249@nju.edu.cn to state this. The IAU grants is in the currency of CHF, we will charge the the right amount in USD (250 for staff member and 150 for students) on August 31 with the exchange rate on that day.

Q: Can I pay through credit card?
A: No. You can pay the registration fee through wire transferring. All other money should be paid by cash on desk at your arriving.

Q: Who will pay the bank charge for the money transferring?
A: The participant. We need to receive the right amount of 250USD (staff member) or 150USD (student) in our account.

Q: How to apply for a visa to travel in China?
A: Generally speaking, it should be quite easy. Please ask the nearest Chinese Embassy or Consulate early. We have heard that many people just ask for a tourist visa to travel. After your registration, an invitation letter will be sent to you by airmail. In some (unusual) cases, the visa office may require a "visa requisition form" (it will be in Chinese) from us, so we would send it to you along with the invitation. For this purpose, you need to supply your passport number. Please send an email to iaus249@nju.edu.cn to give us your (and your accompanier's) passport number.

Q: Will you arrange more tours after the conference?
A: Sorry, No. But we will try to offer some help for you.
