Application Procedures (on web site)

（1）Qualification for application

Applicants for presentation must be a JSCE member at the time of application. (If you have JSCE's ID number but are currently under inactive status [such as suspended delivery of JSCE journal due to your payment being in arrears] you are ineligible to apply. In that case, ask at the Membership Section, JSCE Secretariat.) If you are not a member of JSCE, then please visit our homepage: Outline for applying the membership (http://www. jsce .or.jp) and complete the membership procedure* not later than Tuesday February 28, 2006 (the membership application form is available on the web site). If sent by snail mail, applications received by JSCE by that date will be accepted. On-line application will not be available after the deadline. Applications from members of the agreed 24 overseas organizations (as listed on here) will be accepted as JSCE members.

If you have completed the procedures for membership in JSCE by the deadline above and have not been given a membership ID number at the time of application for presentation, please contact the Membership Section, JSCE Secretariat below.

We request you apply for membership well ahead of the closing date since a large volume of clerical processing is expected toward the deadline date of application for presentation.

^* To apply for membership, you need to submit the application form by snail mail or in person to the JSCE Secretariat, Membership Section with the attachment of a copy of the receipt of membership fee issued by a bank (or when a remittance is sent by postal transfer, a copy of the “payment slip and receipt” thereof).

Applicants are requested to upload the application form for presentation along with the paper to our site, http://www.jsce.or.jp/committee/zenkoku, between Wednesday, March 1 and 17:00 Friday, April 14, 2006. For specific steps, see “Procedure for Application for Presentation”. In this electronic application, you should enter your ID number, date of birth, and other information. It is requested that the members of the agreed 24 overseas organizations, who need to comply to a different procedure, contact the Annual Meeting Committee below.

Electronic application in PDF format is available only through the Internet. Application in other forms will not be accepted such as the mailing or handing-in of the application on a floppy disc.

The applicants for presentation are requested to make the registration fee payment before the deadline of June 9, 2006, using the payment slip, which will be sent from the secretariat upon online application. Your application will be considered accepted when the secretariat confirms your payment. After confirmation, the Secretariat will acknowledge your application for presentation and then send an admission certificate for speaker and proceedings on CD-ROM in advance of the Annual Meeting.

Notice: As an admission certificate for speaker and proceedings on CD-ROM will be sent begining of September of 2006, applicants are requested to register the contact address so that these certificate and proceedings can be delivered surely in above period (begining of September of 2006).

Please prepare your paper according to the Procedure for Preparation of Paper

Notice: We offer a confirmation period from Monday, April 17 through , April 20, 2006 to see if the transmitted file of a paper is received by us. All applicants are requested to check with us for the receipt of paper by phone or facsimile during the period.

The very high traffic of files transmitted shortly before the deadline previously stated and unforeseeable circumstances may force the server to shut down. Applicants are encouraged to transmit files well before the deadline.

Please note that as a general rule, applications without a report or the payment of the registration fee for admission attached, or if the report is not prepared in accordance with the Procedure for Preparation of Paper or the report is submitted after the deadline, they will not be accepted. Furthermore, please be reminded that the report should be submitted simultaneously with the application for presentation. Requests for replacement or correction of reports will not be complied with so be sure to send your final paper.
