********** << Coronavirus (COVID-19) Policies >> **********
The coronavirus (COVID-19) has developed into a pandemic.
However, we must preserve research-exchange opportunities
through initiatives that are suited to the times. Currently,
we plan to run ASAP 2020 as usual in July. In case attendees
are impacted by travel bans, video conferencing options will
be provided. In case ASAP 2020 can not ignore the influence
of COVID-19, we will provide an entire online conference
solution to hold ASAP 2020 in a virtual format.
