paper presenters, or three presenters and one discussant). An abstract
for an individual paper should be no more than 300 words in English
(or 700 characters in Japanese). For organized panels, a maximum
300-word (or 700 characters in Japanese) abstract is required from
each participant, in addition to a maximum 300-word (or 700 characters
in Japanese) abstract for the panel itself.

Sessions will be held concurrently beginning at 10:00 a.m. Admission

registration fee of $35 for non-members.
