The 3rd Circular and the final request for registration.
An International Workshop
on
Collaboration and Coordination
Among NEO Observers and Orbital Computers
Kurashiki City Art Museum
Kurashiki, Okayama, Japan
October 23 to 26, 2001
The Japan Spaceguad Association would like to hold a workshop
from October 23 through 26, 2001, at
the Kurashiki City Art Museum (near the Bisei Spaceguard Center).
Following the workshop, we will inaugurate the Bisei Spaceguard Center
on October 27.
Purpose of the Workshop:
In these years NEO matters have been discussed at different occasions
and organizations. Number of NEO observers and orbital computers has been
increasing and they have been producing excelent results. However, it seems
that there were not much discussions on collaboration and coordination
among them and some critical debates between those teams were brought.
Therefore, the SOC intends to make this workshop to solve the problems
or at least to start to its solution. Program of this workshop will be
arranged with some introductory reports by NEO observers and orbital
computers and set aside many hours for discussions.
SOC members: Syuzo Isobe (Co-Chair), Donald K. Yoemans (Co-Chair),
Tom Morgan, Bob McMillan, Ted Bowell, Andrea Carusi,
Brian Marsden, Richard Binzel, Karri Muinonen, and
Mark Bailey
