After the meeting, speakers are kindly asked to submit a paper based on his/her talk. The deadline for the paper is currently scheduled at the end of Feburuary 2003. - - We assign the talk slot by first-come-first-served basis and will stop to accept the talk offer as soon as all slots will be filled in, so early contact is recommended for the speakers. - - The meeting will start in the afternoon of the first day. Whether the meeting will continue to the afternoon of the last day depends on the number of regular talks. - ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 13th ALGI Organizers Hitoshi Furusawa (AIST) Masahito Hasegawa (Kyoto) Yoshiki Kinoshita (AIST) Izumi Takeuti (Toho) - ----------------------------------------------------------------------
