The First International Conference on Urban Earthquake Engineering will be held on March 8-9, 2004 at Suzukake Hall, Suzukake-dai Campus, Tokyo Institute of Technology. The Conference is organized by the Center for Urban Earthquake Engineering (CUEE), Tokyo Institute of Technology. The Conference aims to provide a platform for research and practice among scientists, engineers, researchers and planners addressing the issues of earthquake disaster mitigation in seismically active urban areas. The Conference will feature state-of-the-art technical presentations on various themes relevant to the urban earthquake engineering. The official language of the Conference is English.
Authors are invited to submit an ABSTRACT of not exceeding 300 words by November 17, 2003 to CUEE Office by e-mail (conf@cuee.titech.ac.jp). Abstracts received after November 17, 2003, or those with incomplete information, may be rejected without review.
Abstract will be reviewed promptly, and authors will be notified of abstract acceptance by November 24, 2003. Manuscripts for accepted abstracts are due by February 14, 2004.
Submitted abstracts must indicate the Title of Presentation, List of Authors with identification of Presenting Author, Full Mailing Address, E-mail Address, Telephone and Fax Number of the Corresponding Author, and the Major Topics Category from the list.
The presentation and participation to the Conference will be free. The authors and registered participants will have a copy of the Proceedings. It is a requirement of the submission of abstract that the authors will present their papers at the Conference.
