IAU Symposium No. 229
Asteroids, Comets, Meteors
August 7-12, 2005
Buzios, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The IAU Symposium 229: Asteroids, Comets, Meteors (IAUS229-ACM2005) will
focus on all aspects of studies on asteroids, comets, and meteors,
including observations, theories of origin and evolution, discoveries,
astrometry, dynamics, internal structure, mineralogical composition,
space missions, laboratory studies, classifications, and databases.
Presentation and discussion of results from space missions are expected
too.

IAUS229-ACM2005 will be the ninth of the international series of ACM
conferences, first held at Uppsala (Sweden) in 1983. The spirit of ACM
conferences is to welcome researchers from all nations interested on
asteroids, comets and meteors studies to a gathering where ideas can be
openly shared and discussed. The hallmark of these meetings is a wide
international participation that is representative of the broad
international character of the field.


Conference Schedule and Format

Registration for the conference is expected to start on Sunday, August
7th, at late afternoon. Scientific sessions will start on Monday, August
8th, in the morning. The conference summary and closing address is
programmed on Friday, August 12th, after the last oral session.

The format of the conference will be organized on the basis of 3 plenary
oral sessions per day, with a duration of 1h 30m each. Two of these
sessions will be distributed in the morning, from 09:00 to 12:30, with a
half-hour coffee break. The third session will occur in the afternoon,
from 14:00 to 15:30. This will allocate time for some 15 invited talks
of 30 minutes each, and about 90 contributed talks of 10 minutes each.
Only plenary sessions will be programmed, since parallel sessions would
be incompatible with the interdisciplinary spirit of the meeting.

Poster presentations will be exposed during the whole meeting. Dedicated
sessions for posters will be scheduled on three days (Monday, Tuesday
and Thursday) after the afternoon plenary session. We expect that most
communications will be in poster form.
