The meeting structure for Hawaii 2014 will resemble that of the previous joint meetings.   Workshops will be held on Tuesday October 7th, preceding the plenary and scientific sessions that follow on October 8-11th.  The plenary session on Wednesday morning will open the main meeting and will highlight nuclear physics in Japan and the U.S.  The following scientific sessions will be held during the morning and evening, except on the last day of the meeting (Saturday) when sessions will be scheduled in the morning and afternoon.  There will be a Hawaiian Luau on Friday evening to celebrate the joint meeting.

Typically, a morning or evening session will see one invited paper session taking place in parallel with multiple sessions of contributed papers and mini-symposia.

As is usual, mini-symposia will involve one lead (invited) talk followed by contributed papers all focused on the same topic.  The mini-symposia are viewed as ideal sessions to integrate the JPS and DNP communities around topics of mutual interest.  Contributed talk slots will again be 15 minutes, time for a 12 minute presentation with three minutes allotted for questions and discussion.  Lead talks in mini-symposia will be 30 minutes (25+5) in length.  Invited session talks slots will be 45 minutes (35+10) in length.
