Dear Colleagues, I think almost all of you know that the IAVSD (International Association for Vehicle System Dynamics) regularly has the international symposium every 2 years. It is my pleasure to inform you that the 18th symposium will be held on August 24 - 30, 2003 hosted by Kanagawa Institute of Technology, Atsugi, Japan. The attached files are the call-for-papers for the symposium and the update in which you can find how the 18th symposium would be attractive one. I like to invite you here to apply to the symposium and participate in it on August next year in Japan. With best regards. __________________________________________________ Masato ABE Professor Kanagawa Institute of Technology Department of System Design Engineering 1030 Shimoogino, Atsugi-shi 243-0292 JAPAN 18th IAVSD Symposium URL http://iavsd.sd.kanagawa-it.ac.jp e-mail [log in to unmask] TEL 81 46 291 3097 FAX 81 46 242 6806
