                 http://ijcai.org/ijcai-97/questionnaire.html


Since the conference will be held in Nagoya, Japan, we like to roughly
estimate how many papers will be submitted and how many people will
attend the conference.

For your information, a SAMPLE budget for attending the conference is:

        Accommodation  10,000yen x 6 days = 60,000yen
        Meal           17,500yen
        Transportation 30,000yen
        Conference     42,500yen (not decided yet)
        -----------------------------------------------------------
        Total         150,000yen (US$1,500)  excluding airfare
                      US$ 1 = 100 yen,  English £ 1 = 170 yen
                      1 German Mark = 70 yen, 1 French Franc = 21 yen

Thanks for your cooperation.
Looking forward to meeting you at the conference!
