These novel observations by gravitational waves, combined with high-precision observations of X-rays and gamma rays from compact astrophysical objects, are expected to provide us with new eyes for investigating phenomena associated with strong gravitational fields in the coming century. As a meeting held at this historical epoch, the main purpose of the seminar is to synthesize the recent achievements in theoretical studies of black holes, gravitational waves and other phenomena associated with strong gravitational fields and to prepare for the coming new age by forecasting future developments. The meeting mainly consists of lectures by experts in relevant fields. I.

Site and Date The Seminar will be held at the auditorium of Yukawa Memorial Hall at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics(YITP), Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan. The registration will start at 4:30PM on Sunday, June 27, 1999 when a welcome party will also be held, until 7:30PM. The seminar will start in the morning of Monday, June 28 and continue until the morning of Friday, July 2. June and early July are in the rainy season. We suggest you to bring an umbrella. The temperature ranges between 22C and 35C. It is generally hot and humid. V. Transportation The nearest international airport to Kyoto University is the Osaka Kansai International Airport (KIX). While direct train service (JR line limited express ``Haruka'') and limousine bus service are also available between Kansai airport and Kyoto, the most convenient means of transportation is a shared taxi, Kansai Airport Skygate Shuttle, operated by MK Hire Company. Reservation is required in advance. The detail can be found in the YKIS99 home page. VI. Accommodation Accommodation for participants can be arranged through Kinki-Nippon Tourist Company (known as Kintetsu International outside Japan). A limited number of rooms is available at the guest house of the Institute, Kitashirakawa-Gakusha, for 2400 Yen per night for participants from developing countries. Those who wish to stay there are requested to contact the secretariat. For the convenience of those who wish to arrange accommodation by themselves, we have provided useful informations in the YKIS99 home page. VII. Call for Contributed Papers Those who wish to present contributed papers are requested to write the title in the Registration Form. The deadline of application will be March 31, 1999. The contributed papers are presented in the poster format only. However, substantial discussion time will be reserved for the poster session each evening after the oral session, when drinks and light snacks are available for purchase. VIII. Registration and Proceedings Registration should be done through the YKIS99 home page. The deadline will be March 31, 1999 for those who wish to present a poster, and April 30, 1999 for others. Those who wish to use computers/internet during the seminar are requested to indicate a preferred account name in the registration form so that we can issue an account beforehand. Proceedings of the seminar will be published as a Supplement issue of Progress of Theoretical Physics. The registration fee will be 5,000 Yen (about US$40 at the current exchange rate), which covers a copy of the proceedings, welcome party, and refreshments during the seminar. It should be paid upon arrival in Japanese Yen in cash only. You may also choose to pay the fee at the time you send a deposit for accommodation. For those who do not have access to our home page, the registration form and other useful information found in our home page will be sent either by e-mail or ordinary mail upon request to the secretariat.
