The OP2005 Conference is on schedule. The conference event is not affected anyway by the Tsunami which hit the south east coast on Sunday morning. Bangalore is sufficiently in the interiors and the weather and climate conditions are clear and salubrious. All media facilities (LCD-powerpoint, transparencies) will be available for the talks. The poster boards are of the dimensions 1 m * 1.5 m equivalent to 16 A4 pages.
